Reading that letter makes me thankful for what I have now. I get home, family, friends, and love. I have to be better than you. Coz I get something that you can't get when you were child. But, I know every person has their own fate. You are good in writing, but I'm good in something else.
God leads you to your path because God knows what is good for you. Nothing of the God's plans are bad, coz God has the reason for us to face it and God wants us to know that reason to take the better path. And I believe God will show us the way. Everything would be much more different now if you used to get love in your childhood. You wouldn't start to learn to write, you wouldn't be an awesome writer and you wouldn't live at Sherborne.
I'm not experiencing what you had already experienced. And I don't want to take the path that you have taken. I don't wanna be a writer -true writer- like you. I don't really like to write. I find much difficulties in choosing the interesting topic, using the right words, and inspiring people by my write or even making them stop for awhile- sacrificing their time and energy- just to read my write. I don't think I have that kind of talent. My old man asked me to write anything I have experienced in a blog. But I don't know I feel too lazy to do it. I don't think I will make a good passage to be read if I write. I'm not confident with my ability to write. My best friends around me -Rara, Nara, and Ukky- have good ability in writing. I can imagine what they want to share by their write and somehow it can inspire and entertain me. Their diction is just ease to be read and somehow emerge a feeling to not stop reading their passage. Somehow I feel worse reading their passage coz I think I can't write as good as them. I'm not confident.
But, I have a strong willing to learn writing. It really is a useful ability. Most of scholarship require essay for their applicant. Most of academic task also have to be written. If I wanna graduate I have to write too. When I want to apply for a job they will look and consider me from my writing too. Even I don't think I have talent in writing- like I don't have any talent in painting- I wanna learn writing and I have to. That's why I take the creative writing class. I hope in the future I can improve my ability to write. I can explore my imagination more. I can be more creative. I can let go of myself. I can express my self freely in a form of words that will turn out into a passage later. I have to learn much from you and others like you. Your letter really inspire me. It makes me thankful and motivated in the same time.

I shouldn't stop to learn everything. Because in our life, we will never stop learning.
