A letter from June 7th, 2017

Dear Ben, I'm you but in the past. I'm in the 8th grade and 13 years old right now but my birthday is coming up soon (yaaay). I'm having a "great" time in school today. School is almost out, 2 days left to be exact. I have bleached hair too but always still looking hawt (spelled wrong on purpose). I love to skateboard, in fact you are probably a pro skateboarder right now. I usually wear jeans but never blue jeans. I wear jeans that are gray, black, and super light gray (but not white). I also wear lots of skateboarding related t shirts but also any t shirt, like Quicksilver or Volcom. I always have a lot of energy to play and mostly skate. My best friends are Payam, Ruben, Amari, Jacob, Elijah, William, Jonah and A LOT more people. I have two dogs named Mancha and Coco, i also have a pet hamster which is my closest friend named Flash. Again, I love to skateboard but I am also a DJ. I skate every day and hope I get a good sponsor someday. My favorite period in school currently is computer class. I get to play games sometimes, but i love to make music out of nothing in that class too. THis school year was kinda challenging because it was like everyone was pushing me to do great. I’m ending this school year with the best grades though (thankfully). When I am your age I’m going to travel to Nicaragua with friends. My professions will be skateboarding and engineering. Im also going to an academy for engineering next year, that will help me a lot in my career. I’m in boy scouts and It’s fun because i’m with my friends. In scouts we like to help the community like volunteer work or projects like making a bench in a local park. The one bad thing right now is Donald Trump is president, hopefully he gets impeached (he will for sure). This is me, 13 year old skateboarder, DJ Ben. Life is good and i’m blessed with the life I have. See you soon Ben, Benjamin Ibarra 2k17
