Odessa 的来信

I met Yunli in the summer of 2003. We were taking an organic chemistry class together. We just happened to sit right next to each other, I sat in the desk right in front of her. Yunli was the nicest, sweetest person in that class. Automatically, we clicked. We would study together, have lunch together, and once we even played tennis after class. We both really did not know how to play tennis, so you can imagine how difficult it was for us to keep the game going. Nevertheless, we had a great time.

Yunli was my smartest friend, yet she was very humble about her intellect. She always encouraged me to believe in my own ability to perform well in school, by always saying that I was just as smart as she. But I knew that wasn’t true, but it made me feel good that she saw greatness in me.

Yunli was a beautiful person inside and out, who was always willing to help anyone in need. I am deeply sadden that I was unable to speak to her before her passing away. But I am thankful that God allowed me the privilege to be her friend, even for a short while.

Yunli had dreams of becoming a doctor, just like myself; so next Saturday on April 16, I will take the MCAT for the both of us. I can’t wait to see you there Yunli. Yunli was my friend, she will remain in my heart forever and I will miss her very much.

I love you Yunli.                               

Your Friend,Odessa

我是在 2003 年夏天认识韵力的。我们一起上有机化学课。我们碰巧坐在一起，我坐在她前面的课桌上。韵力是班上最善良、最可爱的人。我们自然而然地一拍即合。我们一起学习，一起吃午饭，有一次下课后甚至还打网球。我们俩都真的不会打网球，所以你可以想象我们打网球有多难。尽管如此，我们还是玩得很开心。

韵力是我最聪明的朋友，但她对自己的才智非常谦虚。她总是鼓励我相信自己在学校里表现出色的能力，总是说我和她一样聪明。但我知道那不是真的，但她看到了我的伟大之处，这让我感到很高兴。

韵力是一个内外兼修的美丽的人，她总是愿意帮助任何有需要的人。我非常难过，在她去世前我没能和她说话。但我很感谢上帝让我有幸成为她的朋友，即使只是短暂的一段时间。

韵力和我一样梦想成为一名医生；所以下周六，即 4 月 16 日，我将为我们俩参加 MCAT 考试。我迫不及待地想在那里见到你，韵力。韵力是我的朋友，她将永远留在我心中，我会非常想念她。

我爱你韵力。

你的朋友，Odessa
