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.
If i would go back in time i would tell my freshman self to pay more attention to football and an education. I would talk to the right people and i wouldn't have fricked up some relationships. I would tell him football and an education is more important than smoking or anything. If i had a 4.0 and worked harder in football i could be going to a university. Going to Thunder Mountain for my first 3 years of high school was a stupid descision and i regret it 100%. I shouldve went to Juneau douglas and got my learning in and football work ethnic.
ReplyDelete10 years from now i would hope i have a stable job as working as a police officer in Juneau, Alaska. I would like to be a cop in Juneau, because besides DUI, rape, and domestic violence its easy compared to down south. Being a cop would be fun you pull over some people from your high school and knowing where they are now and give them a ticket. After college i would like to see the world a bit before i settle down. I want to meet new people and hopefully be debt free.
I want to have a son before a daughter, my son will play a sport he can do whatever he wants. I don't like soccer but if he wants to play it he can do what he wants. I will not spoil them what so ever. I would have atleast one person who i would go for advice with raising a kid, thats who i would want around. I would like to have a Bachelors degree and have a car.
The things i wouldve changed in the past couple months or years is too much. So many dumb choices i made and things that if i didnt do i would be in such a better state of mind. I would be at peace, but now im stressing over stupid crap.
Over thinking kills your vibe.
ReplyDeleteAs I look back on my life today I realize that the time I've spent growing up and who I've grown up around has had the greatest impact on my life. Now in a few days when I walk down the isle to hold a pointless peace of paper that states I’ve passed high school. Makes me ponder how and where in life I will go next. What do I do in college? What if I don’t like it? What if it’s too hard for me and I drop out? My goal and almost everyone I knows goals is that after college they want to be rich, have a nice house, a fast car, and have a big family. These things are all very important to me but that’s why I have become such a nervous wreck with the rest of the graduating class of 2015. Remembering the great times and experiences I have had makes me miss high school and the vibes that come with it. My advice as a senior who has graduated from JDHS is that everyone needs to challenge their selfs, and learn from their experiences.
As life continues to move on I look forward to seeing myself meeting new people having a loving family and working with a great job. Who knows where my education will lead me, who knows if I’ll even choose to get one. My life is truly beginning and although it scared the s%*# out of me I can honestly say it has been a very memorable and passionate 18 years.
But now to end my high school career I want to leave you with a quote. Babe Ruth once said, “Heroes get remembered, but legends never die” in this life I want to be a hero, someone who has made a long lasting impact on this world and has made it a better place for everyone.
