A letter from March 24th, 2015

Aukea Hooper 2/23/15 Period 3 Dear 25 year old me, I hoped that by now you would have been accepted into the Air Force and is now a certified pilot serving your country well. Today, you face many fears and obstacles like getting laid out in football and trying to get a 4.0 GPA. I hope to have overcome these by the time I am 25. I have many resources that help me achieve my goals such as inspirational mottos and life lessons that I will always have through life and will never leave me. My goal as always was to get a pilot degree and go into the Air Force flying a 48 fighter wing and retire after 20 years of service and apply at an international airport as a pilot for Hawaiian Airlines. The reason I chose this specific goal was because I want to be able to fly and serve Hawaiians by flying and protecting them using a plane. I hold a strong amount of faith in my own strengths because I know I always have people to push me to my limits and bring me to my full potential so that I can be successful and industrious. I will always remember what I have to offer because what I put on the table is only the best of me and I know the best of anybody will always contribute to the world. If I were to see you right now I would probably shake your hand and ask how you were doing. It would be awkward to see you so grown up and mature and I think I would want to learn from the mistakes you have made and trials and tribulations you have gone through from your freshmen year till 25 years old. I know that my future self will always have discipline and perseverance because those are the life lessons my parents distilled in me at a very young age. I know I will love my 25 year olds personality because he will be a funny and uplifting person. No matter if my future self decides to take a new path or fails at something I know that he will always make the right decision and always think before he does.
