A letter from Jan 11, 2023

Dear FutureMe, Dear ariiiiiii my girllllll, how you beeennnnn? Remember when you were in 12th grade in Ms. Porter class and she made you do this extra long assignment? You deffffffinitely said you were gonna hold yourself accountable and stick to those goals for the next 3 years so it’ll make going to college worth it. Your goal was to save at LEAST $766.42 a month. I hope you have a good job in college so that you can keep this goal going cs by the time you’re done you’re basically rich! Even though it’s so that you can actually PAY for college but like… still. Anyways, to break it down more you can save $25.20 a day or just $176.87 every week. I know we don’t have a job like THAT yet but trust, we WILL meet this goal one way or another. Even if we have to start scamming lmaoooo. You’re probably worried that you can’t save that much because you want the “full college experience” but you definitely don’t have to broke while fulfilling that. By now you probably have 1 more year till you graduate againnnn and i’m so proud of you for making it this far but nobody wants to be broke. Hopefully your boyfriend is holding you accountable. And let yourself breathe btw. Don’t stress too much because God got you and you know this! All you have to do is pray for guidance and make sure you don’t just try to let Him do it alone. You have to help yourself as much as you want Him to help you too. You can definitely do this though girl I believe in you and definitely text Ms. Porter and let her know everythingggggg. Your 17yr old self, arielle <333
