A letter from Jan 08, 2025

29500 Mira Loma Dr. Temecula, CA 92592 (951) 775-3015 dorianchristie.11@gmail.com January 8, 2025 Dear Me, Today is January 8, 2025, I am 16 years old and in my Sophomore year in highschool. My second year of highschool so far has been great, and I have already changed so much from Freshman year. I am now more involved in school by being on the Lacrosse team, doing volunteer work, and soon applying for a job in March, 2025. I have also quit skateboarding because of sports and because I have lost interest in the hobby, even though it is sad giving up on something that was once my main interest, it opens up new doors for new opportunities. Currently, as I write this, it is the second semester of my Sophomore year, therefore I feel refreshed for having a new start at my grades and assignments hopefully getting a head start at the beginning of the year. This semester I plan on getting my best GPA yet having a 4.0; all A’s in the grade book. I hope that when I read this again, in about a year or so, I am succeeding with my Junior year and all of the IB classes I will be taking, and hopefully getting a 4.0 or even higher that year. I am currently struggling with many different things yet the most relevant one would be sticking to the promises I would make to myself. I struggle at this a lot with many things including, school, sports, working out, sleep schedule, etc. I hope to overcome this as soon as possible so I am working on it as much as I can to accomplish my promises and continue to grow. In the future, when I’m reading this again, I hope this could sound like a joke to me, like I learned to overcome it so easily that it was foolish of me to even write this. I hope that I cringe at reading all of this and think “was I really that dumb?”. Over these past years I have changed dramatically, from style, taste in music, interests, hobbies, my looks, and even my height. I am not anxious about these changes or sad about any of these because I see myself becoming a better person than I already was. I hope to change even more in the future and better myself everyday. When I end up reading this again, I hope that I laugh about it and see how much I've changed. I know that I will keep growing throughout highschool and getting better everyday. I just want myself to know that I should never give up and that anything in life is possible as long as you put in the work. Sincerely yourself, Dorian C. Christie
