Dear Tony,

It's been a while since we last talked. How are you doing at school? Hope you are having an awesome term.

Today, I'm glad to share my future career plans with you. I hope that you will support me as well as give me some pieces of advice. I've always been interested in the healthcare industry and helping people in need. After much thought and consideration, I'd like to pursue a career in nursing in the future. I believe nursing is a both rewarding and challenging career that will allow me to make positive impacts on people's lives. I'm thrilled about the prospect of working in a dynamic environment where I'll have the chance to develop every day. I love not only meeting new people but also building lasting relationships with patients and colleagues. To achieve my career goals, I'll enrol in a nursing programme at a college. I'm confident that with the right training and experience, I'll be able to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those I care for.

I'd love to hear about your future career plans too. What are you interested in pursuing? Have you had any plans for your future career yet?

Thank you for being such a great pen pal of mine.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Stay well,

Nam Phương
