"Congratulations on passing the occupational therapy board examination with flying colors. Your dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence have truly paid off. Your accomplishment is a testament to your knowledge, skills, and passion, which we have witnessed since your father and I started following your education journey from elementary school. You began to excel back then, and when you reached high school, you were truly dedicated to your studies and belonged to the honor students. In senior high school, we didn't expect it because you said it was difficult to make it to the top, yet you graduated in the top 6. I thought that was the peak, but then you graduated from college as cum laude, and we are immensely grateful for everything. Your recognition is a token of appreciation for all the sacrifices. And now, you have brought us overwhelming joy by achieving the top 1 spot in the board exam. We are very proud of your success, overwhelmed with joy, and profoundly aware of the accomplishment of your hard work and dedication. We are looking forward to the bright future ahead. Thank you so much, CJ, for not giving up despite the exhaustion and sleepless nights of studying. Your determination and drive have led to this remarkable achievement, and we have no doubt that you will continue to shine brightly in your career."
