Dear Senior Year
June 4th, 2014
Dear Senior Self,
You’re about to graduate! Right now you’re tired as heck from staying up all night to finish your four different portfolios that are all due by next week. You know I’m still trying to stay positive and see the light at the end of the tunnel. Next year I better not do this stuff! How are you doing? Did you graduate with good grades? I hope you tried your best, (and didn’t procrastinate). How is mommy doing? Is she the same as always? Can she believe you’re graduating? (Do you have your tattoo?). It really feels like just yesterday you were eight years old sleeping over Jessica’s house and now you’re 18 sleeping over Jessica’s house! How is she? How much do you think you two will cry at graduation? Did Jessica get the job at tropical smoothie? I talked to an old friend yesterday in the lunch line, about Mohanad and us dating and all that. She kept using the word “retarded” and called my mom “crazy”. I’m glad we had middle school together but she’s still stuck there. I’m so blessed to have Jessica in my life, you and her are going to have such a crazy summer together!! I hope organizing and scheduling for prom was not nearly as stressful as Ringdance was this year. Who was your date? Are you and Mohanad still together? That’s crazy if you are. He’s such a sweet and positive guy to have in your life, I hope we have/had a great relationship and spend/spent good time together. He is pretty unforgettable! I hope if we did break up it wasn’t messy and we can still be friends. How was duel enrollment?? Are you still writing in your journal? Has your writing improved? Hopefully! I hope you did well in duel this year and passed your SOL’s! Has your fashion sense changed? How many followers do you have on tumblr? But most importantly, DO YOU HAVEA CAR?? IF YOU DID ONE THING ALL YEAR, I HOPE IT WAS BUY A CAR!!!!! Is Mr. Miller still principal? Right now in English class were watching “The Secret Life of Bees”, I remember being like 13 watching this movie late one summer night, downstairs on the TV when everyone was asleep. I thought, “Who’s gonna be my first kiss?” or “Will a boy even life me?” And then I kissed Devyn at Kelli’s house. I remember that moment so well, and now he’d dead. Have you been published anywhere yet? I hope so. I hope you’re still writing. What are you writing about? Who? Do you look much different? Probably not. I don’t know what else to say, other than I hope you’re okay. I hope you have a car, and you’re license. I hope you have Jessica and Aunty.
Stay positive, Love earth, and Keep growing!
Nanny and Grandpa would be so proud of you!
Love,
Rosemarie
