An Open Letter to My Son Starting Middle School
My dearest son,
As you begin this new chapter in your life and step into middle school, I want you to know how proud I am of you.
Watching you grow into the amazing person you are today has been the greatest joy of my life, and I know that you will continue to make me proud with every step you take.
Middle school is a big step from elementary school, and I want to offer you some advice that I hope will help you navigate this new terrain with confidence and grace.
First and foremost, always remember that you are loved. You are loved by your family, your friends, your teachers, and even people you may not know very well. You are never alone, and there is always someone who cares about you and wants the best for you.
Secondly, don’t be afraid to be yourself. Middle school can be tough, and there may be times when you feel like you need to fit in or be like everyone else. But I want you to know that you are unique and special just the way you are. Embrace your individuality, and never be afraid to let your true self shine.
Thirdly, work hard and always do your best. Middle school is a time for learning and growing, and I know that you have what it takes to succeed. Believe in yourself and your abilities, and never give up on your dreams.
And finally, don’t forget to have fun! Middle school is also a time for making memories and having new experiences. Take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way, and enjoy this special time in your life.
As you embark on this new adventure, know that I am always here for you. Whether you need a listening ear, a shoulder to cry on, or someone to celebrate your successes with, I will always be here for you, every step of the way.
I love you more than words could ever express, and I am so excited to see all the amazing things you will accomplish in middle school and beyond.
Love always,
Mom
