Dec. 10, 2015 Dear Mom,
I’m sorry for what I said to you last night. I shouldn’t have talked back to you like that. I don’t know why I lost control of my temper. Maybe it is because I’ve had a heavy workload these days.
I know you and Dad care about me and have done everything you could for me. I really appreciate it. I also know that you and Dad expect a lot of me. I’ll study harder and try to live up to your expectatons and realize my own dreams, too. Mom, please forgive me. I love you, and I am very grateful to you for all you have done for me. I promise never to make the same mistake again.
Your son, Jimmy
