Dear XXX,　

As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write aletter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.

Do your best in classes, but don’t let pressure get toyou. If you graduate and learn something in your four years, we would feelhappy. Your Columbia degree will take you far, even if you don’t graduate withhonors. So please don't give yourself pressure. The only thing that matters isthat you learned. The only measurement you should use is that you tried.

Most importantly, make friends and be happy. Collegefriends are often the best in life, because during college you are closer tothem physically than to your family. Also, going through independence andadulthood is a natural bonding (结合的)experience. Pick a few friends and become really close to them — pick the oneswho are genuine and sincere to you. Don’t worry about their hobbies, grades,looks, or even personalities. If you think you like someone, tell her. You havevery little to lose. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine andsincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secretof success — that I am genuine with people and trust them (unless they dosomething to lose my trust).

College is the four years where you have:

•thegreatest amount of free time

•the firstchance to be independent

•the mostflexibility to change

•the lowestrisk for making mistakes

So please treasure your college years – make the bestof your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny.May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossominto just what you dream to be.

                                                                  Love,

                                                                 XXX
