From past me to future me.

Dear Future Victoria, First of all, how are you? How is life? Have you found your soulmate yet? Are you happy doing the thing you love? Are you still volunteering? Please tell me you're still on good terms with Michelle? Is Oreo still around, that grumpy little cat. Now you probably remember this may have been an eleventh grade summer reading assignment but you know as well as I do that I've always wanted to write one of these. You probably still do but I love to collect stupid novelty things, like volunteer event shirts and touristy stuff and papers that clutter my rooms and will be thrown out in the matter of a few weeks. I am writing this in the middle of my writing class for the SAT test prep program. Remember Elite?? Good and bad memories there best not to bring them up. I wonder what my SAT score will be when I take it this year once I go back. I, this past self of you will never know because I live in the past. But you'll know!! Oh sorry I brought this up if we got a horrible score. Oops. Sorry momma. This girl s an assignment so I have to answer a bunch of questions so here goes: 1. Who influenced your present self? How? Ok my mom obviously influenced me. Oh that reminds me. Call momma and tell her you and I love her. Maybe invite her to dinner or buy her something nice. She has always been supportive , even if she deemed me crazy on several accounts. She stood by me whenever I had doubts about whatever I wanted to do and I love her everyday of my life for it. Michelle also influenced me because as you, I and probably everyone else knows we are twins. I'm probably biased to say this, but I am probally the more behaved of us both. You'll agree with me on this but remember all the timesaver got in trouble with momma for some unknown and obscure reason. Don't tell her I said this, but momma said she loves us more. Surprisingly, Jeromy influenced me try harder to be a better swimmer. You know I've always been competitive and I just learned that he has been swimming for only six years. SIX YEARS! We've been swimming for eight years and he's better than us. I hate it and I hate him. Michelle says it's because he tries harder than me. I hate her too. Hmmm... Who else influences me? I think that's it. That's pretty much it. Moving on. 2. Whom do you want to influence? How? Why? Influencing people is not a strong suite for me. I'm not good at anything useful so I don't know. I guess I would like to influence people to stop smoking and be kind to nature. I would like to influence my generation and the next generation by giving examples of reasons they should protect the environment. I would take them to the skirts of nature, maybe working as a park ranger to show them the wonders of nature. This ends my essay to you, my future self. Thank you for finding the time from your busy life to read this in the future. Sincerely, Past Victoria 7/16/15
