Dear John,

Choosing to go to a vocational school is like batting during a baseball game.

When you stand at home base and swing your bat,

you don't know if you're going to hit a home run or not.

However, you do know that you must focus on the ball.

Making choices is the same way.

No one can tell you whether it's right to go to a vocational school.

You need to think deeply and listen to your heart before making your choice.

If you do that, you'll have a better chance of hitting a home run.

Maybe you're simply too worried to think clearly,

but you should listen to the voice inside your heart.

It will never do you wrong.

If you love art, then go to a vocational school.

You can take hands-on classes and learn new skills.

All of those will help you sail successfully into your future.

Here's a poem for you.

Good luck!

Shh....

Shh....

Can you hear it?

Listen.

Listen.

It’s talking to you.

It's telling you what is true.

It never lies to you.

Why is this?

Because it is your best friend.

It is you.

Yours truly, Emily
