Letter 3 – To My Parents
July 2, 2010Letter 3 – To My Parents
Uhmah Song
Dear Parents,
I am writing this as we are on our way to college orientation and there are some things I want to you that I can’t bring myself to say to you so I’ll just write it down here. So first of all, to be honest I still have no idea whatsoever what I want to study in college or even what I want to do with my life. My plans are to start studying Mechanical Engineering and go towards that direction. And if I don’t enjoy that area of studies then maybe switch to Graphic Designs and if THAT doesn’t work out then maybe go towards like Federal Justice or whatever it’s called. You know like police and FBI or something like that. But who am I to make plans? I mean MY plans? I think that’s more of my direction. My plans aren’t for me to make, they’re God’s plans. What he has planned for me…. What DOES he have planned for me?… I have no idea where I’ll be few years down the road from now. Not even the slightest hint. I couldn’t say this to ya’ll because I didn’t want to worry you.
Especially you Dad. I know you’re not so “Religious” so I couldn’t say that I have no control of what I’m gonna do… but yeah. Other than that, I’m really excited to go to college and also a bit scared/nervous to be away from home. I think I’ll be able to manage … ha well I guess I have to manage right? Dad you want me to go in to AFROTC and I guess I can look into it, I mean it can’t be as bad as goin to The Citadel right? And I just have to serve for what? 3? 4? Years after college? I guess I’ll give it a shot. I hope you learn to “let go” or realize that I’m in college now and can take care of and worry about myself. (for the most part). I’ll try to do my best and not become lazy especially during the first year. I hope I can make you proud.
Mom, I know you really don’t like the thought of me going away from home but hey, at least it’s not out of state. I hope you don’t expect me to call/e-mail/txt you everyday -_- ha. Please don’t worry about me too much. I’ll be good (or try to at least. Haha) and try to stay out of trouble and accidents… but they’re not called accidents for nothing right? I’ll be safe, eat well, study well, and do all that good stuff. I hope you don’t stress out too much because of Peter and Paul and work and stay healthy! (I’m gonna miss your cooking -_-)
Well that’s what I wanted to say for now. I Love You both!!!
Your Favorite Son,
Patrick Kim
