Hey Jessica!
I am done with school until 2016. Woah. That's weird to
think about. But, I've decided this post isn't going to be about me—no, it's
going to be about you.
Congratulations! Your finals should end today! You made it!
You are so close to being done with this stage of your schooling, I’m so proud
of you. Because of this I'm going to tell you some awesome things about
yourself (just in case you've forgotten). Here they are: 10 Things That Make You Wonderful or Why I Wish I Was You
- You
sew, crochet, and knit. That's pretty impressive. And you don't
just follow patterns, you make stuff up too! Like the sleeve for my
computer. You can sew some amazing dresses, and don't get me started on
your quilt. It's amazing! You put so much hard work and perfectionism into
these projects that is incredible, and it shows in the finished projects.
- You
are super smart. I don't think I need to tell you that you are
the smartest one in our family. It's pretty obvious. You get the best
grades because you are the hardest worker even though out of all of us you
probably are studying the hardest subject. Go you!
- You can cook. And bake. If you don’t
count brownies, these are two skills of which I lack. And two skills of
which people (especially of the male variety) love. You make some of the
best things I have ever had. You also get excited about making things—that
makes making things even more fun! (Might I add that you look super cute
in your apron, the apron that you
made.)
- You are amazing at the piano. It
cannot be denied, you are the most musical person in our family. You are
the only one to pick up piano again, and the only one to play so many
instruments. Oh, and don’t forget you have an amazing voice. Like, come
on, Concert Choir, Cantores . . . leave some skill for the rest of us! Don’t
forget you are awesome at saxophone too! You and the quartet gave me an
appreciation for that instrument.
- Clothes. You wear super cute
stuff. ‘Nough said.
- You have perfect teeth. The rest
of us had to go through years of braces to sort of get teeth like yours.
Lucky you.
- You can take pictures like this and
still look great.
The turtle is not the only cute thing in this photo - You are great at strategy games. At
least better than I am. And you are great at card games. The rest of us
can’t keep up.
- You look great in scarves. I’m a
little jealous. Only a
little, I swear!
- You
are beautiful. Don't go shaking your head at the screen. Don't do
it. For once, let yourself believe you are beautiful, because it is the
truth. You have a symmetrical face with these gorgeous eyes staring out at
the rest of us. (If you think that me saying that you have a symmetrical
face is a little cold, it’s really not. It’s scientific. That’s what
makes people attractive.) Don’t get me started on your hair! I am
soooooooooo jealous of your hair. It is a gorgeous brown, and is curly. I
love the curls you have. So many people spend forever curling their hair
everyday so that it will look like that. You also have long, curly, dark
eyelashes. The rest of the world wishes that they had your eyelashes. I
could go on, but we don’t want you getting too big of an ego.
Now, don’t get discouraged, there are more reasons why you
are wonderful, but to state them all would take the rest of my life. These are
just a few. I thought they might be able to recharge you for the next semester.
I love you Jessica, keep being awesome.
Love,
Melissa
