A letter from Jan 11, 2025

Dear Future Me, I hope that you're doing well in Tulane University, and maintaining your 4.0 GPA. Right now, I'm on my way to achieving my goals for financial freedom and making sure that your college life will be more fun as possible. If you're not feeling well or going through a tough time, then here are my words for you: It's going to be okay. Everything will work out in the end, as long as you're leading yourself to the right path to achieve your goals. If you think that you might not turn out to become the Rhodes Scholar in the future to some bad problems/issues, then that might be pretty bad. In my time, I also have to worry about my aspiration to become a Rhodes scholar; I gotta make sure I have the right foundations and the right roadmap to become a scholar, even if it means standing out in Tulane or from the crowd. Don't forget to be involved in the right courses, and the right extracurricular activities to pursue your passions/goals! Also remember this, try to initiate your own extracurricular activity or your own project to make a great impact on the community, or the world as well!(It can take time, I know). I hope that you're more mature than me; accepting to spend time on the right things(especially on creating a scientifically accurate formula with immortality, by using technology and important science practices.). I want to wish good luck in your future goals/aspirations, and be the greatest Tulanian you can be on the campus( Unless you want to transfer to a very top level school like Harvard). If you're thinking about transferring to a top school, remember to show your authenicity and how you can show your future success with your passions! Hope that you will have the bestest college freshmen year and live your life to the fullest! Sincerely, Yamato Shiota(High School Senior)
