Congratulations on making it this far! I knew you could do it. I know it wasn’t easy, but hopefully it was fun. By now, you should be getting ready to graduate (unless you already did), and getting set to become a teacher. I don’t know if your desires changed, but as of when I wrote this (Spring of 2017), I wanted to be a fourth grade science teacher, at Spratley Gifted Center. The people there know you and can take good care of you as you get on your feet.

I hope your relationship with Buck has remained strong and close, and that you two will remain together in the future. I also hope that you maintained friendships with Lev and Mel, and many other people. I hope you had awesome teachers, though I doubt any of them will be quite as awesome as Doctor Jordan. I know I’ve got a lot of passion and drive for the things that I love; art, music, animals, anime, theatre, role play, dragons, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, Pentatonix, and cosplay. I hope those stayed strong and gave you the courage to get back up whenever you felt down.

Hopefully you’ll walk up Wheeler Lawn and in front of Wheeler Hall, getting an Honors diploma (Maybe even a Highest Honors!). You have so many people supporting you; your friends from college, church, grade school, and Chanco, your family, and the community in both homes (Hampton and Longwood).

Sincerely,

Your Freshman self
