Imagine what an ideal world ten years from now would be like. Write a letter from yourself in 2030 to your present (2020) self, in which you describe the state of the world, the way people are living, and what you, yourself, are doing in society. In addition, include any important message that you might wish to tell your present self.

Dear Hoang Lam of 2020, Ten years may be a long way for yourself, you are enjoying the best moment of your so-called youth. It's been such a long time since you told me about your dream. How are you? Do you know that I want to come back to the previous ten years, I was an innocent girl, smiled all the time and lived within the hand of my family, my friends as well. Sometimes, I feel a bit lonely, I miss my grandmother who died several years ago and my parents always supporting me, my sister, my brother. The more mature I will indeed be, the more lonely I seem to be. Nowadays, I'm twenty-seven; however, I need my family a lot because they eternally stand by my side no matter the outside world behaves me terribly. Thus, it's safer. Although I'm ready to come to the adult stage, I'm still a child-like my grandma, my parents said. I and my sister, my brother, we have got to know how important the family atmosphere is, so we try to arrange our work schedule to have a meal together with our treasured parents. After all, we are back to our daily mission. Every day, I wake up, I often remind myself to be better and look up the blue sky as much as possible. Do you know my living world is dramatically changing, it's remarkably different from your current world? It's not about the fear of COVID-19 pandemic or the highly dangerous cancer disease, still, the distance between people and people is much further. I don't know what the reasons are, at times, I wonder whether it's because of their heavy work. Moreover, I realize that human becomes more selfish; whenever I wander along the street, I see they are in a hurry, no one can say "hello" each other. Healthy is much more important to me, I usually take care of myself with a breakfast like a king and a hot cup of coffee, then I immediately go to work. Also, it's the period I recall much about my childhood. With the development of the 2030 society, everything is modernized. From the tranquil rural village to the city, all of the things are covered by many industrial factories, fewer rice fields. If ten years ago, you met many children who were beggars, lottery-ticket sellers, now each of them is provided with a proper job and brung to school by the government. Motorbikes seem to disappear completely, instead, it's the luxurious cars appearing on the road. And one of my moving moments is people may sympathize with the disabled who used to be treated awfully. It has changed a lot, right? Momentarily, I become less coward, more upbeat, and stronger. I have graduated from the Foreign Trade University for five years; currently, I am devoting myself to working as a financial manager in the oversea office. This is what my mom had wanted me to be in the future and I did. Especially, I am extremely delighted because I have many chances to make voluntary trips come true. It is the happiest period, I'm able to help the poor and remoted-area children, help them to be more useful just by my experience. So meaningful! One more thing, I want to tell you that I flew to Paris in France, the country I regularly dream about. What I pictured in my dream until when I twenty-seven years old, I've painted step by step. And you? I observe that you're having a year left before joining the University exam, you are facing up to a lot of problems; you should keep on moving forward though. Your failure today will be the premise in the next days. Yet another, they're lessons which motivate you in improving yourself. After all, it's simply a big challenge, you need to be patient and courageously deal with. How hard it is, try your best, go ahead. Originally, life is a chain of days filled with trials; it's not a destination, it's a long journey. You don't know how tomorrow will be, but know how to create your own story, never give up. Fighting!
