M:Before I work here,I worked in medicine.That experience is the reason I made this plan.Through that work,I found how important sleep is.Also,not smoking or eating too many unhealthy foods.

　　Victoria,it’s your father.I know you’re having difficulties.So,I’m leaving this voice message to encourage you not to quit your study program.Through three-year high school,you earned great grades and praise from teachers.Your life is harder now since you’ve started your student exchange program in France.Also,you’ve been away from our home here in the UK for a month.So,I want to share my story of studying overseas.

When I was your age,I had few interests and felt quite lost.So,I decided to take a student exchange program overseas for five months.I really liked Chinese films and art at the time,so I decided to attend a high school in Shanghai.At first,this experience was very difficult.I didn’t speak the language and felt very homesick.But because I didn’t quit,this period became the most valuable experience of my life.As your mother always says,the bigger the challenges,the bigger the opportunities for growth.And I know you’ll never forget the gifts from this experience.Also,please talk to your teachers while you have trouble making friends in a new environment.They’ll help you greatly,I promise.
