SENIOR FINAL WRITING

On Sunday, you will walk the stage in a ceremonial send off to adulthood.  Congratulations!

Reflect on your past few years.


Write a letter to your SELF four years ago and tell her/him what you know now that you wish the 9th grade you knew. 

Then, imagine what your next few decades hold and write, write, write…do not edit yourself, do not place any limitations on your dreams and imagination.

Tell us where or what you think/hope/plan to be five years from now, ten years from now, fifteen years from now, and twenty years from now when you’ll almost be forty and hitting what is, for many people, midlife.  Be as detailed as you can…where are you working? What type of job? What kinds of people do you surround yourself with?  Where are you living? What lifestyle are you leading?  Are you married? Single? Children? Pets? Education? Car? Bicycle?etc...

Close with your favorite aphorism, quote or some wise words of wisdom.

Let me know if what you’ve written is okay to share online on our blog.  If not, just share the document with me as a google doc file.
