I wanted to let you know that it has been approximately one month since I found out that I was accepted to The University of Chicago! It was my top choice. This was a big life event that you were unable to see from earth. But I know for certain that you are happily watching from Heaven in God's arms. I will be the first one in the family to graduate from such a prestigious research institution. I couldn't have done it without you. From the values you instilled in me at a young age to the struggles you faced coming to America, I couldn't have done it without you. The acceptance rate last year was only 4% and it is consistently ranked top in the nation, above most Ivy League institutions. I know you are beyond proud of me in Heaven. You truly valued education, and you were driven to succeed. I also scored in the top 99th percentile on the ACT test. As I plan to complete my high school journey, I wanted to let you know that I am on track to graduate St. John's with high honors: a 4.0 GPA and mostly honors/Advanced Placement courses. Also, happy belated birthday. Don't worry, we celebrated for you!
1 John 4:16 "And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love. Whoever remains in love lives in God, and God in them."
We miss you and we love you so much Nai Nai! We will see you again one day.
With Love, Evan and family.
