HS 1st Place Essay: Heartfelt Gifts

It was my birthday the other day, and I turned 17. I received many warm wishes from my friends and family, and I also received some heartfelt letters. I was so happy. These days, it’s easy to send text messages, but I really appreciated that my friends took the time to write letters instead. They also attached many photos and drew pictures of things I like. I could tell from the letters how much thought they put into them. I think letters are filled with more love than text messages, so when my friends’ birthdays come around, I want to write them letters, too.   (103 words)
