June 5 and 8- Senior letter

Today we wrote a letter to our future senior self. If you want to write this letter, follow the guidelines below, seal it in an envelope, then turn in to Schachter.

Senior Letter:

You will be writing a letter to yourself that you will read when you graduate from high school. 

Address the envelope to yourself and begin the letter as if writing to a friend.  Be sure to use your own name- as in “Dear Own Name.”  It’ll give you this neat feeling of Déjà vu when you read it three years from now.

Write as if you are talking to yourself.  You can write about anything you want, but here are some ideas.

Description of yourself                                               Funtimes in the past

Freshman year so far                                                   Strong feelings

Embarrassing moments                                               Advice to self as a senior

Current worries, problems                                           Career Plans

Daydreams, Nightmares                                             Predictions about 3 years from now  

Future goals                                                                Attitude towards school

Secret loves, hates                                                       Opinions towards drugs

Boyfriends, girlfriends, best friends                           Hobbies

Favorite songs, movies, stars                                      Family

Prices of items                                                             Weather

Fads in hairstyle, clothing                                           Summer plans

Write a lot.  The biggest complaint you will have in three years will be that you didn’t write enough.  Seal it in the envelope, write your name, and turn it in.
