A letter from Aug 17th, 2021

Dear FutureMe, My dreams for this year are to be able to pass and have a good freshman year. I enjoy playing football and playing Frosh football here at Mt. Whitney. My room is simple with just a desk for my clothes, shoes, accessories, and my TV with my Xbox. I like going to the field to play football with friends or out to places like the mall with friends. My friends and I go out to the mall, stores, or walk around wherever to hang out. I live with my mom, dad, and my grandma. I also have a pet dog named brownie. I admire people who play football and work so hard to accomplish their dreams. I was born and raised in Visalia, California. I grew up with my mom, dad, grandma, and my grandpa. The schools I have attended are Willow Glen, Shannon Ranch, Riverway, Ridgeview, and now I attend Mt. Whitney as a 9th grader this year. I’ve played football for 4 years now. 2 years with the Redwood Rangers league team. I played with my friend Dax and his dad was the coach of our team. Now it has been hard with my close friend who recently passed on October 30, 2020. He was so young and he was a happy soul. He was always the life of the party, the sunshine whenever days were down, and just someone I could rely on. #LLD My next year was with the Visalia Ducks with Coach Goodie. I now see him around because he is one of the JV coaches and he still gives me tips and tells the coaches of my skills. This year I am on the Frosh football team for Mt. Whitney with my Head Coach Saldana. I hope during high school I may meet a lot of new people and be known for something here. I would like to maybe set a record or be known as someone good. After high school, I would like to maybe go for a construction, welder, or mechanic job. I want to grow successful and make my family proud of what I accomplished. I am scared I might get a little scared since this is my first year and in a bigger school. With new faces, teachers, and having to learn new things. I am scared for the future but I know I have to prepare for it. Life after high school to be with family and my own job so I am able to support myself. Maybe even starting my own family but that will be a couple of years after high school has ended so I have time to figure out what I will be doing for my job, getting prepared to have one, and be able to support myself. Go tell your favorite high school teacher goodbye and especially go tell Mrs. Bone thank you for making you write this letter.
