Dear future me,

Hello! I’m curious as to what my future looks like as a first generation college student. Did I make it through and graduate? Did I join many clubs like I told myself that I would? What does my military career look like now and do I want to do another contract? Am I still friends with everyone that I’m friends with now? Have I improved my social skills? Am I still on the path of becoming a high school history teacher?

I know it’s a lot of questions which hopefully have the answers I want, but a lot can happen in four years. It is true that things don’t always stay the same, and in some areas I wish that weren’t true but I know I need change. I want to help make a change in this world even if it is small. Do we still feel this way? Have we become bitter or do we continue to have a positive outlook on life?

How about our family? Did we manage to make them proud and the envious more envious? Right now I plan to go home every weekend because being away from them without communication has made me realize the importance of having them near and spending time with them. Did we go home every weekend like I planned? Did our relationships get better, are we closer now? I see longwood as my home, but it is my second home, not my main home, hopefully I ended up choosing to stay here the next four years but I guess I won’t know till I receive your letter back! Take your time with my questions and please answer in details, the length does not matter for I am deeply curious to know what happened to us while we were here!
