A letter from June 18th, 2020

Dear Emily Grace Thomassen, You just turned 20 today. Hopefully, you are in college living in the dorms or in an apartment. I hope you are having your best life in college and living it to the fullest. I would like to have a part-time job and also be in college classes. My GPA right now is a 3.75. Did you maintain that throughout high school? I would want to be working towards my business bachelor's degree, maybe my masters it just depends where life takes me. Do you have a boyfriend? Are you still stuck over a guy? Do you think you've found your soulmate? Have you learned your self-worth yet? I would like to still have my own car and be able to pay for everything I need to. Did you fulfill your dream of going to college for wrestling with a scholarship? Right now you are working your butt off and being the best version of yourself. I am working hard and becoming the best person I can be. I have been working and am hoping that I can go to state this year. You have been working so hard and I am so proud of you. Coaches are proud of you and proud of your dedication. Mom and dad are super proud of you for all you have been doing around the house and how amazing you have been working to fulfill your dream. Keep pushing and remember you can do anything you put your mind to. You're beautiful and mean something to so many people. Keep pushing, keep reminding yourself how much you're worth. Be yourself and don't let any stupid boys in the way. Live in the moment and experience life to your fullest potential. Stop overthinking and start thinking about how amazing and wonderful you are. You are your biggest support system, don't ever forget that. I love you, Emily Thomassen
