Persuasive Essay

How do you feel when you receive a letter from your family or your friends? Personally, I always get very excited when I am opening an envelope addressed to me, at which moment I am just filled with anticipating, could it be new secrets, caring thoughts, or loving words?
Ever since I was young, I remember everybody in my family getting a bunch of letters, everything from leaflets, bills, to business proposals. I remember once feeling quite disappointed when my younger sister got a birthday card from an insurance company when I didn't, I thought nobody thought of me. So I came up with the idea to send a letter to my friends, because I am pretty sure they are happy when they will get them.

For me, I feel great when I write and share my stories, about where I am, or what I am doing. Due to my frequent traveling with my Photography club while in college, I always write at least three postcards each trip to my parents to say hi and to tell them that I am safe; to my friends to share the highlights of the trip; to myself to record the moment. The recipient can view an image on one side of the postcard, and see the date and location on the stamp, which is a great way of sharing my experience.

During the summer break I used to write sequenced letters and distribute them among all my friends as I wanted them to talk together. I understood the feelings between a sender and a recipient. My thought was that one has to send happiness, in order to receive happiness.

Even though now there are text messages, cell phone, and even multimedia email messages that is enable faster and easier communication, I still prefer hand writing letters to special people. The process of sending a piece of traditional mail, which includes choosing nice letter stationeries to drop the mail into the mail box, is still very endearing to me, for it illustrates the special feelings that accompanies all of my letters.
