A letter from Jun 18th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, How's it going? I'm at home doing school virtually, and it's not been that fun; to be honest, let me tell you about the current me. In five years, I see myself going to the best college ever, which is duke university, and my dream is to play in the NBA and possibly have my own talk show; I want to work hard on making my goal achievable. What has changed about me since high school? Now I have two best friends Andre J, Garrett, and I love to play sports like basketball, and sadly I can't see them because of COVID-19. I have a good sense of humor, and I am A hardworking and fun-loving person; I always help my friends if they need assistance; every time I put on a basketball jersey, I feel sad because I can't put it on anymore. I would say that I miss my friends even more than basketball; I remembered in 2016, I got the good news that I got on the travel team for basketball, although I wasn't terrific. Who is my brother? well, his name is kye, and he is just three years old right now; I believe leaving for college is going to be difficult without my brother with me. What changed my personality was when my grandma's mom died, changing my mood a bit. Then when the pandemic hit, I was always thinking like when will this be over? and when I had school virtually at first, I didn't like it very much, but at the start of 8th grade, I thought that I wasn't bad it was actually terrific seeing my friends even if they are virtual; I promise myself that I will work hard at my dream and won't let anyone stop me from reaching that goal, this pandemic will make me grow as a person. I will always put the hard work in until it pays off. I hope you are on your path to be a famous NBA player and be the next best talk host. Sincerely yours, your 8th-grade self.
