Dear John,

　　I'm sorry you didn't get the part you tried out for in that play. I know how much you wanted to be in the play. Now you feel that maybe acting isn't the right future for you. I think you're wrong.

　　You're a good actor. Do you remember when you played Caesar in your summer theatre group's play? You were excellent. People clapped every time you walked on stage. Even the other actors loved you.

　　All actors have to get used to being turned down for a job. It's part of an actor's life. Even famous actors don't get every part they want.

　　I think you should give acting another chance. You love it so much, and you're good at it. Don't be discouraged because you lost one part in the play. Wait a bit, and try for another one. After all, you can always give up some other time.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Love,

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Jane
