A letter from Apr 24, 2023

Dear FutureMe, This is CJ. Currently I am in the 10th grade, Business Law & Ethics, I have pretty good grades and still play both football and basketball. I still have goals to get to a certain weight, I'm still hoping I become a starter and get into another AAU team over offseason. Some of my goals is to become a cook, be a six-figure earner, and make my parents proud in whatever I do next. What I like about me right now is the way I look, my grades, my shoes are really nice, and the things I have make me satisfied. Something I still get frustrated over is my past, it still bothers me and little. I'm proud that my confidence has boosted. I think about more of myself and my family, where will we all be in 5 years. Hopefully together. A nice description of our home is that there's two stories, your room has a closet on the right as soon as you walk in, a nice huge tv, and a king sized bed. Our address is 8142 Oakley Ln. Your grandma gives you 85$ in allowance, you have lots of chores resulting in getting up at 6:45 in the morning. You have 3 pets: Max, Mya, and Macy. You're still Christian. Chilynn got baptized on 4/23/2023. You love rap. You listen to Homixide Gang, Playboi Carti, Destroy Lonely, Iayze, Ken Carson, Nav, Drake, Lil baby is your favorite rapper. The youtuber Plaqueboymax was in his prime as well as Brucedropemoff. You still love spongebob. Favorite snack is probably Hot fries. You have a little sister who is 3, named Koko or Dakota, an older sister named Chilynn or Tink. Jaylen, your sister's current boyfriend. Mom and Dad are still around, they do so much for you. Best friend is either Shaun or Robert. Friend group at school is Ajylen, Rylan, Ajayeon, Italy, and Dom. You don't really like Merveil. Gage either. Ms. Moore is you're nicest teacher. You hate Mrs. Tebbing, Baughman as well. Mrs. Griffin or G is very nice too. Maka is someone I'd like to get to know better. You sit by Gavin Norman and Marshall Carmack. Gavin is respectable and is a cool dude to have as a friend. You still can't remember exactly where you were born, but it's somewhere in Indiana. Growing up you did a lot of dumb things and bad things that could've potentially ruined those parts of your life but you got through it because you always persevere. It's who you are and it's in your blood. You've went to Ohio for an amusement park called Cedar Point, You went to King's Island, and Florida, Chicago too. 2nd time in Chicago. First time for a rapping concert and second just to enjoy downtown but your mom had an event there. You played on Who-Dat in 3rd grade, meeting a lifelong friend Garrett Phillips. or Deuce for short. 6-7th grade you made the middle school basketball team and played AAU for dynasty. Freshman year you played football. You're not sure what you want to do as of right now but you've settled for football and culinary arts. Lots of previous romances but as of right now none that have shown they have your best interest at heart. It's difficult for you to love because you've been used but you're trying. I accomplish getting through culinary arts hopefully, and graduate with technical honors. You need a job and can't wait to drive. You want to make lots of money. You don't want to get married yet but soon in later in your early 30's. This is CJ signing off at 16 years old. PS: Go tell your favorite high-school teacher Ms. Moore thank you and goodbye and especially tell her "Thank you for making me write this letter. See you soon...
