答え

The letter that my brother gave me before I started studying abroad is paramount to me for a couple of reasons.

First, I was able to overcome any adversity while studying abroad.

For instance, when I was in the United States, I had difficulties being get used to the new environment, but by reading the letter, I got motivated to succeeded in combating the hardships.

In addition, it reminded me how precious the time and opportunity I had there.

For instance, after a several months, I took the time for granted, so the message assisted me in paint myself into a corner over and over. As a result, I could boost my performance and eventually it was the most growing experience.
