Dear Friend,
I hope this letter finds you well. I was overwhelmed with happiness when I heard that you were getting married, but it was tinged with a bit of sadness when you mentioned dropping out of school to get married. From one friend to another, I can't help but have mixed feelings about your decision. Although I know what a powerful force love can be, I'm writing to express my concern after hearing of your plans to drop out of school to get married, and why I think you should reconsider your decision.
Firstly, it's important to remember that you are not just doing this for yourself, but you're laying the groundwork for your future family as well. Having an education gives you options, and there is no price you can put on the value of having that freedom of choice. You don't have to be a high-powered executive or doctor to take advantage of the opportunities that a good education can bring you. It can provide you with the ability to make more money, access higher quality jobs, and even life-long friendships and mentors.
Secondly, education breeds knowledge. You will never regret the things you choose to learn - knowledge is power. Education helps to open one's eyes and viewpoint to the complexities of the world, while helping to foster an appreciation for the diversity of humanity. As an educated person, you will be able to draw from your experiences and your learning to make more informed decisions in life. Imagine living a life not having as much knowledge as the people around you? How would that make you feel?
Finally, personally speaking, attending school and graduating provides you with the foundation for future success. Imagine the sense of accomplishment you will feel upon graduation day when you have reached the end of your educational journey. The sense of pride and accomplishment is immense, and the reward is the life-long satisfaction of knowing that you never gave up on yourself and stayed in the race.
For all of these reasons, I urge you to think twice about dropping out of school to get married. Doing so will limit opportunities and take away from the amazing experience that a good education brings. You are capable of achieving great things, and your potential has no limits. Investing in yourself through education is perhaps the biggest and most valuable thing you can do to set yourself up for future success.
I'm here to help and support in your journey in any way, you need me.
With love and care,
Your Friend
