Day 5 — Your dreams

I have many dreams. I am a dreamer in my mind, but a realist in my heart. I know for a fact that even though I have all these dreams, I always list the bad outcomes. Which stops me from my dreams, can’t help it but it’s true. These are my top 3 dreams right now. It’s just the obstacles that are preventing me from getting there.

Dream 1: Be in the military
Hopefully by the time I am done with college I can be in the military or serve for a few years. I would like to say I’ve done something for this country or even help a few others along with them. I am physically not fit, but I know I can work on it. I seriously have to work hard for it, but I am trying to accomplish my dream.

Dream 2: Be a pediatrician/nurse
I want to be a doctor or some type of nurse. I would really like to help kids or people. I’ve always wanted to since I was a kid. I know it sounds typical, but its true, but I am dreading the school and years for medical school and nursing school because it is taking longer than I expected. But I am trying, if anything I am trying to be a doctor or nurse in the military :).

Dream 3: Make my parents proud to where I can support them in the future.
My parents are doing everything they can to support my siblings and I. I know they are still working when they shouldn’t, and we don’t have the money to just be living of social security checks. They want whats best for us, and when I can, I hope to take care and support them. I want to make them proud, that what they are doing is worth it. And I really appreciate them for it, so I want to give back when I become successful.

DREAMS, they are hard to ACHIEVE. But hopefully it will be worth it.

Day 4 — Your sibling (or closest relative)

Dear Jhe Jhe (older sister),

We are 10 years apart exactly, 1983 and 1993. I can see why we fight, argue, cry, disagree and so on.. We don’t get along but yet we still love each other. Honestly you are the stronghold one in our family. You are exactly like our father except a little bit sensitive and more understanding. I am not jealous of you nor do I envy you. But we are sisters, we fight, get along, and say mean stuff we do not mean. I look up to you, you have been through so much especially just by being the oldest. There are sometimes where I don’t respect you, but the times where I highly respect you, you don’t even realize it. You’ve had thyroid cancer and you fought it back, you broke off the ex-boyfriend that you have been with for 8 and 1/2 years, and you always fought for mom and the family when dad was having his fits. I know I don’t show it as much as I use too, only because we are the same way like our dad. Stubborn, literally. 

Now that we live together, we argue much more, and probably get annoyed much more, only because I didn’t grow up with you. When you were off to college during my teenage years, I grew up with Koko (older brother). I think thats why we are so different, and not the same at all. We have different views and I can be mature, yet to you I’m not. I just want you to know that I respect you, and I love you, even if I don’t say it as much or show it. I’ll always be there for you, and I know you will be there for me. Thank you so much for everything you have taught me and will show me. I really do appreciate it, even if I don’t act like it. 

Love you forever and always,

PaoPao

30 day Letter Challenge- Day 3: Your Parents

Dear Momma Bear and Papa Bear,

Oh man, where do I begin? Well I want to apologize for being a rebel in the family. I know I speak my mind when I shouldn’t or talk back when I am not allowed to. You have raised me well, and honestly I am really grateful for that. I don’t do drugs, I do not smoke, I do not drink, I do not drink and drive. I do not do half the things you’ve told me I shouldn’t do. I always walk out with keys and cellphone in my hand. I always park under the light at night time. I am always aware of my surroundings. I wash my hands after I sneeze and cough. I could go on and on. I love you guys. I love you guys for always supporting me when I know you shouldn’t have too.

Even though after all the unreasonable times and upsetting moments.. You will always mean everything to me. I will still support you no matter what the case is unless it’s jeopardizing my future when it shouldn’t. I will guide you just how you guided me when you guys retire. I will visit you when I can and take you guys wherever y’all want to go. Thank you for everything, for teaching me right from wrong, teaching me real life examples, helping me able to support myself, to challenge myself, to do better and to know better. I really appreciate it, and I may not say it as much, but I really do thank you mom and dad.

Love you always, Shannon

30 day Letter Challenge- Day 2: Your Crush

Dear Brent,

You have always been my crush ever since I moved to Texas in June 2010. It’s been almost two years and you’re still my crush. My first ever real crush, butterfly-giver-to-my-tummy, boyfriend, heartbreak, and still my crush. We have been through ups and downs and yet we are still talking and being friends. Hell we are even dating again… and I’m totally in it to win your heart again and hopefully won’t be letting go again. You have always meant the world to me and still do.

I know I shouldn’t let my guard down too fast or quickly after everything.. But I’m hoping this time is different. I hope you will always be my crush and boyfriend, maybe even husband one day, but for right now, you are my crush. And I rather you be my crush than nothing at all. (:

Your crush, Shannon

30 day Letter Challenge- Day 1: Best Friend

Dear Lisa Nguyen,

You are and will always be considered my best friend. I know slowly we are drifting apart because we are growing apart. And I really miss you.. I miss you from the bottom of my heart and I wish I could fix it. I try to keep in touch with you, to talk with you, and yet our friendship is slowly disappearing. I know we have so much things to do and so many people to fill in our places. But yet you are still my best friend, I still tell you all the major news when I can. We may not think of each other as much anymore, or be first on speed dial anymore but I hope we can be. I hope to visit you when I visit Florida. I hope we can renew our friendship before it completely expires. I miss telling you things.. and I miss making fun of you, laughing, crying, smiling, getting angry and so much more.

I hope you are doing great and very happy with your life. I know you must be since we rarely talk as much.. I will always love you and care about you. I know we have the type of friendship to where we can still catch up even though it has been two years. I know we can talk like we’ve been seeing each other everyday.. But I know we haven’t and I miss it. One day, when I come back to Florida or when we visit each other. I hope to establish our friendship and where we stand. I am always here for you, no matter what the case. And I wish you knew that. Like I said, we have grown apart, but yet we are still the same in some way. We will always be until the world ends..

Your best friend, Shannon.
