A Mirror From The Past
9/12/2024
Dear Future Self,
I want you to read this before you walk the stage to get your degree. Congratulations on all your accomplishments. I hope you had the best time in college and made memories that will bring a smile to your face when you look back, and are proud of yourself. Right now, I am a first-year student and to tell you the truth, it feels like I am in a summer bootcamp, and that I will be going back home in a few days. I guess reality has not hit me that hard yet. This should be our new tradition to write letters to our future selves. I want you to check off things in the list I will make today.
First, I hope you make your health a top priority, nothing should be put before this. I hope you got rid of your unhealthy habit of eating junk food and are now eating healthy. You should be good at drinking water and exercising daily now. I would be happy if you do accomplish these goals. Second, I hope you kept your academics a top priority because you are getting your degree. I will assume you did, and I am so proud of you. I know I suck at communication but as a communication studies major, I believe you are much better than me now. Unfortunate circumstances might happen that will cause you to change your major. If you did end up switching majors, I am glad you went with your heart and did what made you happy.
You are now preparing to enter the workforce, please do not overwork yourself. I want to travel the world, and I don’t want you to forget because I know the workforce can sometime be hectic, and people slowly start to push their dreams away and I want you to promise not to let our dreams go. I know mom is proud and will most definitely have a huge celebration dinner. I want you to write her a letter to thank her for all the support she has given us through our journey. Remember our childhood promise to work hard so she doesn’t have to worry about anything. Now it’s your job to start making that promise a reality. In life you only need one person to believe in you to be unstoppable, so I want to tell you I believe in you, and you better make me proud.
Have a great graduation and tell mom that 19-year-old Kare loves her and is thankful that she was the one chosen to be our mom.
Good Luck and love You!
Kare
