Letter to my parents

Hello mum and dad!

I’m writing this letter to thank you for all the love that you have given me since I was born. I had a fantastic childhood, and as I see it, being happy in your early years is the key to become a nice person in every aspect of your life.

Sometimes I find myself smiling when I remember many special moments of my childhood. Playing outdoors with my neighbourhood friends is such a sweet memory to recall. We spent hours and hours riding the bike and talking and moaning about our Maths homework. I also enjoyed my football trainings as a child. I met so many friends there! Getting into a sport team is something that everyone should do. Having fun while doing healthy activities is such a perfect combination.

The sad point is that nowadays I see many kids hooked on their tablets playing videogames instead of enjoying nature while spending their spare time with some friends. They are strongly influenced by advertisements and are on social networks. From my point of view, they are wasting the best part of their childhood, which is playing outdoors with your friends!

Anyhow, what I stated above makes me appreciate even more the education that you gave me, not demanding high standards but at the same time teaching me to share responsibilities at home and in life in general. I feel that that balance made a difference, and I just wanted to share my thoughts with you to say thank you for all these years. You made of me who I am nowadays.

One big hug, your son, Alejandro.
