A letter from May 13, 2025

Dear FutureMe, You did it. You graduated. You are sitting in the hotel room in Boston waiting for mom and Jason. It has been the most challenge year working full time and going to school full time. No one understands on either side.. your job wanted the most of you while school did too.. but you did it. Mercy treated you well in the end. You saw the helpers as Laura once told you to look out for and there she was, right beside you on your last day. She’s one of the good ones. Many people valued you. All of the days spent exhausted, under appreciated, and spread to thin were noticed in the end: by those who mattered. You didn’t see it until the end and that is one important lesson is that not everyone shows you how they feel until there’s no longer the opportunity. What a challenging but rewarding job. Your life goals are still a little muddled right now but nonetheless there is still a burning desire to become a PA. You are going to take the change and the universe will guide the way. You hate the in-between of things but these are the moments where you learn the most about yourself. Reflect on this moment of how far you have come, how much you have grown, and the love you have been surrounded by along the way.
