Spanish Letters!
Hello! I am writing to children in a Honduras orphanage, and I was wondering if this would be right.
I want to say "Remember, you(formal) can make your dreams come true!" "Recuerde usted,¡puede realizar sus sueños!" |

Something written to children (plural) should be written in third-person plural. If you're writing to a child, you should use a second-person singular form.
There's no reason to include the personal pronoun with the command. |

Yeah, I wasn't sure if I should use the formal you because these children can be from age 7-17, I don't know how old the child is. Do you think I should use the informal you even if he could be 17?

@Micho: No es que no lo conozcan; nomás no lo usan.
El uso de "vos" que citas, es el "you" informal, igual al tú, y los pronombres correspondientes son los mismos del tú. · Vos podés realizar tus sueños. · ¿Cómo te llamás vos?
