Oi, Musta ka bai??? I hope you’re doing great, wherever you are right now and I hope that you will now live and accept the name Ian. At the moment, I’m a Grade 12 ABM student, just trying my best to finish strong and hopefully graduate with honors. I’m aiming to take either Psychology or Accountancy in college as my pre-law course, still figuring things out, but I know where I want to go and I hope you that you're doing well there in college.

We're currently a Red Cross instructor, and I really hope you’re still involved in that somehow, still out there teaching and inspiring students about the Red Cross movement. I also dream of building my own gaming company. I don’t want to just rely on Dad giving me a business, I want to make something from the ground up, something I can call my own.

More than anything, I hope we're happy, still with Ar-k, and that you two are doing well, maybe even starting a family when the time feels right. I also hope we're in a place where you can help our siblings and give back to Mom and Dad for everything they’ve done.

Whatever’s happening in our life now, just remember how far we’ve come and why we started. Keep going, and don’t forget to enjoy the journey of life.

Always rooting for you,

-YANYAN
