Dear Alex V.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to you today to share some details about my life that I never got the chance to tell you before. As you know, I am of Chinese-Asian descent and I grew up in a family that values hard work, education, and respect for elders. My parents instilled these values in me from a young age, and I have always tried to live up to their expectations.

However, there is something that I never shared with you before. When I was younger, I was diagnosed with Down Syndrome. It was a difficult time for me and my family, but we worked hard to overcome the challenges that came with it. I was fortunate to have access to resources and support that helped me to thrive and I am grateful for that every day.
I know that we have not spoken in some time, but I wanted to share with you because I think it's important that you know, that I hope that you are doing well and that life is treating you kindly. If you ever want to talk, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Take care,

-Laura So
