Dear Sara,

I hope you and your family are doing well. I would like to thank you for trusting me and asking me for advice on weather to continue studying/college or start working.

Fristly, as I know you personally, I remember you were already tried on studying in the high school.

Also, after this break you will come back with strong willingness and know what to study, Additionally, the fees to college are very expensive, so it can be good idea to save some money, from the work.

I hope my suggestion will help you to decide what is best for you, and I am looking forward to hearing from you. Lots of love, Sabina
