Would you proofread this letter?

You are such an outstanding individual who I admire because you are ambitious, and from a young age you knew you would achieve what you wanted to. Upon finishing high school, you chose to study psychology at university where you got two college degrees that set you on the road to success. While attending university, you still managed to find the time some days to attend courses online to get background information. Since then you have always been keen to provide counseling (when you should) to help handle psychological distress—as you were a licensed professional counselor and impactful in your career, you thought what better way to give back. There may be many people positively influenced my life, but no one was more influential than you. You are the one I love and admire a lot so far. You are my fantastic role model.

You have used a mix of past and present tense. You may like to reconsider that.

Would you look at the revised text and give me some suggestions to improve it?

Say: "You are an outstanding individual who I admire ....

Say: " You are somebody I love and admire very much." (Don't use "so far".)

Great ending!

(I don't know what happened to what I previously posted to this thread.)
