Dear Sheba,
There are a lot of things that will happen to you. Take a look at the address as to where I am writing this letter. Yup, UP it is! Your (and Papa's) dream of studying at UP was achieved. Who would have thought?! You will be earning two degrees from this institution. I know that you are dreaming of becoming a doctor. I also know that you did not really specify telling God that you want to be a medical doctor. However, it seemed that God has interpreted the prayer as wanting to be a Doctor of Philosophy. Hahahaha! I am sure that you have not heard what a Doctor of Philosophy is. Go ask somebody. The path I have right now is going to that direction. You will be working with challenging but interesting topics. I assure you that the journey will be very rewarding.
The lowest point in your life will be the time when you will lose your father. It will be hard, very hard. It will take a long time for you to fully accept what happened but you will be okay in the end. As for Mama, you will be having some issues but then again, everything will be okay. She is still the best you can have in this world.
I do not know if this will scare or excite you, aside from Aaron, you will have three more siblings. The five of you will be very close. You will also have best friends whom you can share you laughter, tears, travel adventures, problems, and even shirts, pants, dresses, and food.
The most exciting part of your life starts when you finish college. ;)
You will be exploring different places often.
Look forward to it!
Oh! I almost forgot, continue reading books you have right now because these books will play a very big part in how you will look at the world and in how you see others. Also, continue to watch a movie every Friday. You will have a bulk of movies someday, whom you will happily share with others.
Family is amazing.
Friends are awesome.
Education is great.
You may wonder if you have already found your Prince Charming at 23. Hmm... Well, let me tell you that you are still single at 23. Together, you and me will find out if ever there is one out there for us.
You will come to realize that life is fair.
You will get what you work hard for.
You will suffer consequences.
You will enjoy life.
You will cry a river of tears.
You will laugh loud.
You will stumble and fall but you choose to stand again.
Always remember your great, great motto: never let failure overcome you; have that strong will of determination to succeed!

P.S I wrote this letter because I was inspired by a video I saw in Youtube (you'll come to know what this is soon). Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=kibXfzaDU24
