A letter from May 4th, 2020

Dear future me, I know you weren’t expecting middle school to end this way, you were upset because you wanted to end the year seeing everyone you cared about. You will always remember every moment of your middle school career, the times where you laughed in advisory, were stressed out about some writing assignment or even the best of times when you got a good grade on your math test or learned a new skill. I always want you to remember you can do it even in the really hard times, set high standards for yourself. Remember it’s ok to mess up sometimes just bounce back from it. Life has been interesting. Sometimes I just want to go outside and see everybody but I can't, even though it’s hard I still stay positive and do as many activities as I can. I always want you to stay positive even through tough times like these because you’ll always make it out if you stay positive in life even if it takes some time. I want you to dream big whatever that may be, always think you can do it, if that’s a new job or new car, whatever it may be, dream big and go get it. I have always worked to doy best and try not to give up. I have high standards for myself to keep on succeeding and I try to have a good work ethic. My hard work, silliness and energy is what makes me, me. Although it’s hard School is going ok for me, I’m doing my best to problem solve and communicate with my teachers and friends. Although I miss them I have to realize this is what is best for everyone. I hope that by freshman year I am prepared for a new building and new learning material. I hope that I make it through ok and understand what I am learning. School right now is definitely different but I am starting to get used to it and figuring out my routine. I hope that school next year is understandable, and makes the most sense for me. I hope that I can continue to work through challenges that I face and persevere. I’m a little nervous about having a new building and new teachers but I hope I can navigate ok and meet new people. In highschool, I want to be able to work hard even though it may be harder work. I want to still keep my same drive to get things done, even when things may be more tough. Whenever I get things done and feel accomplished that always has generated lots of positive and happy energy for me. I love when I feel accomplished because I did something and completed it well, it generates lots of happiness for me. I’d love to keep a good grade point average, and make the freshman baseball team. I just want myself to be able to find happiness in whatever that may be no matter what, try to stay positive in life, things will be a whole lot better that way. Love, Me
