Answer and Explanation:
Dear Dad,
I’ve done a lot of thinking and have come to realize that you were right. I’m writing you this letter to say I’m sorry and to assure you that I will change. I hope you can forgive me for being so rude to you that day. I was just angry at being criticized, but I see now that you only did it because you love me.
It is true that I am a lazy person… Somehow, I have come to believe that this is normal, that every kid is just like me, and that kids who work hard and take studying seriously are the exceptions. I’ve realized that I may very well be wrong. There are so many many hard-working kids out there, fighting for their dreams, for a better future. I finally understand how much time I have wasted simply because I haven’t felt like figuring my life out.
I have also realized that this procrastinating behavior is offensive to you. You have done everything in your power to give me the opportunities I now have. I want you to know that I am eternally grateful. And I promise you this behavior will change. I’m ready to make a real effort in life and to make you proud of me. I’m ready to see my own potential, like you do, and work to develop it.
Thank you for loving me so much and for not giving up on teaching me the right way to accomplish things. You are my role model, my hero, and I wish I had never disappointed you. All I can do now is promise you that I’ll never do it again and that you will very soon see the results of my changed behavior. I love you.
