An open letter to my senior self: Accomplish your dreams
March 1, 2018
Dear future Haley,
When I am a senior I want to be a person that others look up to or go to when they need advice or just a shoulder to cry on.
I really would like to be different. I want to look different, I want to be a new person … a better person.
I would like to have lived my childhood to the fullest because you’re only a child once. I want to help people with their daily struggles and make them realize how important they are to so many people.
By senior year, I want to have taken all the classes that will help me with my dream job. I want to be a homicide detective like Joe Kenda.
Being a homicide detective would be awesome because I can solve people’s murders and help their stories be told. I can help their families be a little more at ease knowing that the person that took their family member’s life is going to pay the price.
I would like to be the person to change our generation, because our generation is full of really childish people whom I wish would just stop acting so immature.
It may seem harsh, but it’s true.
The thing with our generation is that many people don’t understand common sense. They just believe whatever they see orĀ hear, and they believe it without finding out if it’s true or not.
By senior year, I hope that you would have at least went to one high school party. I want to go to a party that’s like the ones in the movies because they seem really cool.
I also would like to bring my GPA up from a 2.5 to at least a 2.8.
I have many dreams and aspirations and I hope you were able to accomplish them. All I have to do is stay true to myself, be the best that I can be, and then maybe one day I can become a respectable human being in society.
Sincerely, Haley
