A letter from Sep 07, 2022

Dear Future, Me, it has been a really tough past 2-3 years for me, so I want to see how you're doing when you are 16 years old. Let's start from the beginning so Me, well us can refresh our memory. This all started in 2020 Covid 19 hid and ruined everything. Me and my friends got separated, online school hit, and everything was just not going according to plan. So, like I said when online school was going on back when I was still at sunrise and I was doing online school, I was failing all my classes I got lazier and lazier by the hour, **** even the day. So, then I failed all my classes miserably which caused me to get depressed and I had to see this therapist. So, during this terrible time God heard my prayers and then I transferred to this amazing school (which was still online) called FLVS (Florida Virtual School) where you could work at your own pace, and you didn't have to worry about turning in 17 assignments a day. Now of course I was still a little lazy, but I got my **** together. So, when I was seeing my therapist, we had decided what was best for me is to do some sort of sport to for 1 interact with more people so I am not just in my room and for 2, this could be a very good experience to have an extracurricular activity. So, I started karate and I started to get really good at it and then before I knew it real school was starting again. Not online. Real School. And another thing was coming too my first tournament. I was really overwhelmed. And even though I had started karate because I was all alone by myself and wanted to make friends, I never really did because quarantine had made me super awkward. So, I didn't really talk to anyone there. But anyway, so school was starting and as soon as I walked in it felt so weird it was crazy. So fast forward to the day of my first tournament. Friday, September 24, 2021, at Daytona Beach the day I finally felt like the dojo was my home my real home the day I won my very first tournament fight against Zuri Kraus, 10-11 division. The day I felt accepted. It felt so great I still call it one of the best days of my entire life. I love them so much I really do with all of my heart. So, after the fight, we all went out for dinner and i will never forget this when I went to go sit at the edge of the table because I was too scared to go sit with the older guys, and they brought me over to go sit with them I felt so.... accepted, powerful, amazing, great, I was finally accepted onto the Cobra Kai Tournament team. I started exceeding in school and doing really well... well except keyboarding but we ALL know how that was going to go come on don't even try and fake it LMAOO. But anyway, lets fast forward into 2022 mmm around June Ish. The dojo started giving me less and less respect. And I never understood why. Remember? When didn't I make that no limit team? Anyway, I wanted to ask how long did I karate for and if we are even still doing it. And what are we going to be doing 2 years from 2025? I know this seems kind of dumb, but I really do want to know. 2025 will be here before I know it, and I am very glad I did this just because I'm sitting here in homeroom, and I had a full period LMAOOAOOAOAOOO I'll see you soon :)
