I know that you hope me to study hard and have a bright future. The big difference between high school and college makes me grow up, to be a responsible and mature person.

In college, teachers and students are all very nice, so please don't worry about me. I am going well in college and I wouldn’t let you down. Best wishes for you! Yours,Li Ming 。
