Reflection/Response to letter
Letter From My Senior Self,
I’m about to graduate! Right now I’m tired as heck from tying up all the loose ends of this year. I am still trying to stay positive and the light at the end of the tunnel is growing closer and closer as I drive to it! I’m doing okay, I’m tired but I know that if I can just power through these next few days it will all be worth it in the end. I will be graduating with good grades, I even received honor roll last grading period! I tried my best this year (and didn’t procrastinate too much)! I’m so proud of the work I’ve done this year, I can honestly say I worked hard to succeed, even in spite of all the challenges I’ve faced. My mom is doing okay, she’s had some health problems recently but thank god she is recovering. She has good and bad days, and I’m trying to appreciate every day. I think she’s proud I’m graduating and growing up. (No, I don’t have any new tattoos or piercings). Jessica is doing alright, she did get the job at Tropical Smoothie and is now a shift manager. I wish we could have spent more time together this year though. I think I’m ready to cry now, writing this letter! So I can’t imagine how many tissues we will need come graduation. Organizing for prom this year was the least of my worries, so I’m glad everything is reserved, tailored, paid for and I’m ready to have fun. I’m bringing Rachel to prom! It’s going to be a Thug Bunny reunion! Yes, Mohanad and I are still together! We just had our one year anniversary on May 16th ! We went to the botanical gardens in Norfolk and saw one of my favorite bands in concert! It was an amazing day to celebrate our amazing relationship. This year we’ve been together has been unforgettable! I know I will always have a special place in my heart for him and I cherish every second we can spend together! Duel enrollment was great this year! I’m so so glad I decided to take this class. I have learned so much about writing and I’ve loved the challenge this has given me. I’m still writing in my journal, I even finished my pink one and bought a new more “college” one! I’m so proud I kept that journal and now I can look back on all my special memories and challenges and know exactly what I was thinking. I think making journaling a part of my life really helped me through this year’s challenges. I don’t know if my writing has improved or not, I think it has but I still have a long way to go before I can be happy with my progress. My fashion sense hasn’t really changed, but I haven’t had a lot of time to focus on my style this year. I currently have 281 followers on tumblr! I’m getting a car for graduation. I havnt been published anywhere, I didn’t have time or energy to focus on that this year. I’m not writing outside of journaling and that upsets me. Hopefully I will have the chance to write more this summer. I don’t look any different, although I do look tired! I am okay. I learned a lot this year and grew into a person I can say I’m proud to be.
Love,
Rosemaire
