A letter from May 31st, 2022

Dear Future Jack, what’s good big dog, at this place in time you are 14 and about to become a graduate of 8th grade. You have had your ups and downs but most importantly you pushed through and stood strong. When you get to high school you better shape up with everything to your grades to your cooking skills. Remember all those fun times you spent with your dad and how much you enjoyed his presence. Remember when you learned how to make a portrait with only quotes and words, that was pretty awesome knowing that you are a terrible artist and you still might be, who knows. One of the most important things yo learned this year was how you and other people function and operate. You learned that people your age tend to be very toxic and can sometimes be very rude and it’s a very poor environment to surround yourself in. Also you learned that if you can put your mind to something there is no doubt that you can complete the task. Lastly if you were to give a pep talk to one of your friends you would say to do what you dream, work hard and stay on track and don’t let anyone get you off track and distract you, do it for you and nobody else. I would say the exact same thing to myself. But all in all, good luck in your future years and you got this big dawg. Sincerely, Jack. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1qy5tZLUnlp9jne8e4ZS262qnOGdrf2JoNT59PpNJfYc/edit
