A letter from May 26th, 2020

Dear FutureMe, It is May 26, 2020, I'm 12 years old and in 6th grade right now. The school I go to is Keller Middle School. It's the last week of school but it has to be online because of the virus. I hope nothing else bad happens this year because it's only the 5th month and I think the world is going to end at this point. I just got into a fight with Alexis because I told her about one of my personal problems and she just said "ok". I've been trying to learn how to dance but I loo awkward. I think the date you're supposed to get this is when you graduate high school but I'm not sure. This summer I'm going to try and lose weight and right now I weigh 144 pounds. While I lose weight I'm going to try and learn how to dance better. I hope I get into a dance cover team or just a dance group. When I'm older I want to be a dancer, maybe a singer but I don't that is going to happen. My friends right now are Alexis, Zoe, Adenay, Avalon, Delilah, and Noelia. I started to play Minecraft again and I almost went into cardiac arrest because of a creeper so that was an experience. In the middle of March school started to get canceled, so my mom and dad took me on field trips, we flew kites, played with chalk, and went to the beach with Lauren. I'm in the orchestra at school play the violin. Also at school, I got into the National Elementary Honor Society. For college I want to go to UCLA. I got 2nd place at the school science fair. I did my project on which method is best for removing food allergens off common surfaces. I hope you got did the desensitization for your food allergies. I want to start doing all-star cheer but I think I'm going to lose weight first because I tried taking classes and I did pretty well, but I felt insecure because the other girls were skinny, and they were younger than me. Same with dance. I hope you learn to love yourself as you get older. I don't want to write too much so I'm just going to end it here. I want to perform on huge stages when I'm older, and I hope it happens. I want to be a singer and dancer but I'm scared to go after my dreams. I'm scared to get older too, I'm scared of what will happen in the future. I know there's no stopping time, or making it go slower, so you just have to live in the moment. I hope you follow your dreams. Make your family proud. I believe in you. Love: Your younger self ❤
