This afternoon, my 8-year-old little niece is doing her homework and will be passed on Monday. I am impressed with her letter. I just want to share it and let the frontliners know someone cares for them.
Dear Frontliners,
I want to start your day with a simple hello from me. I think that there's something bothering you right now. For me, I always say, "Everything happens for a reason." Are you feeling down right now? You'll be fine in God's grace. Since the lockdown, I always pray to God that all of you will be safe and healthy.
I had seen all of your efforts in saving the lives of people who are infected with COVID-19. I must admit that I religiously wash my hands before eating food and stay at home to be safe. Now, I'm thinking about what I will be in the future. I adore the job of being a doctor. So, I want to be a doctor. If it happens, I can able to save people's lives.
Whenever I am feeling sad, I like talking with someone. If you wish to talk, I'm willing to listen. You can call and send text messages at my mobile number XXXXXXXXXXXX.
Sincerely yours,
(XXXXXXXX)

I read the letter on the image, just to discover it was all transcribed in your post. Ha ha.
Very touching. I read it aloud to my daughter who is eating at our counter table. Pitiful child, my daughter said, in a joking manner, she doesn't know the pain that is presupposed in her ambition.
Of course, encourage her, and support her eventually. Thank you for the prayers.

@Shavkat Good guidance. Good rearing.
The development of the mind is formed by the people who care for the child.

In my opinion children understand very fast than us... Because they accept what we say but coming to us we have one type of behavior like why we hear your words.. Like those feelings..

I think that is a beautiful letter. Very neatly written and very well expressed. I don't know many English 8-year-olds who could write such a letter.
The only problem is that it's a little difficult to read from your photo. Thank you for including a transcription!

I tried my best to share my second post about our Little Miss. I can feel that she has the potential to be a writer in the future. She is a bright young girl. When she was still a baby, my family and I decided to let her learn the English language first before the native tongue. It is only in her school that she learn the Filipino language and a dialect.

@Lakshman15 That's the reason why we need to listen to them before judging them. Some parents get angry easily without knowing the reason why kids' committed mistakes.
Doubtful if the staff at the frontline would have time to chat though... (Her handwriting and sentenses are very good!)
