Dear Summer,

First off, let’s start with the academics. By senior year, I hope to be accepted into graduate school for Speech Pathology or Audiology in the state of Virginia. Through the rest of my college career, I plan on raising my overall gpa to a 3.7. I want to remember all the hard work and hardships I went through to get to where I am, were all worth it. Remember, that your goal is to be able to help people and truly love your job.

Secondly, lets talk about social and personal development. Please find clubs and activities you truly enjoy. Remember that it is not always about pleasing other people, sometimes you have to put your self first. I wish that you believe more in yourself and brush off others’ negativity. Hopefully by senior year, you will be confident on the inside and out, own who you are (good and bad), and strive to be the best person you can be.

P.S. I know you will be extremely nervous about study abroad, but look back on it now and remember all the great memories you have made!

Love you always (lol kinda have too),

Summer
