Letter to 11 Year Old Me

So....
Here I am once again to write a letter. You all must think that I am obsessed with letters or something....

But I don't know exactly what is to come, but I know that I have soooo much advice that I would give to myself if I could.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Yuna,

So I know that you probably want to crumple this paper into a ball and throw it in the garbage right now because you think you know everything in the world.

But please don't, because you definitely don't know a fourth of the things in the world. And I probably don't either. But I know a lot more than you do.

You are in either 5th or 6th grade right now. You probably have Mrs.W or Mrs.Y. They are really amazing teachers. Next year you will get that laptop that you really wanted. And you will get a kindle fire. You'll get a new classmate, who you won't like at first. Don't be afraid to join volleyball. It'll seem scary at first, but it's so much fun.

You'll get a lot closer to your classmates. There will only be 16 of you in 7th grade. They will be your school family.

Cherish your time with your friends. They will become like your family.

I wish that I could tell you that your best friend is sitting 3 seats away from you in homeroom.

Don't forget your book report at home. And when Mrs.Y asks you to bring in the box of rice, tell mom as soon as you get home.

Don't skip studying for a test so that you can 'wing it'. Don't get involved with things you don't have to be involved in. Water your sunflower plant everyday.

I wanted to tell you that it will all turn out okay in the end. That through the crazy fights and that left-out feelings you will end up happy in the end. You may end up not popular or not beautiful or anything else.

You will be happy. And that's the important thing.

Love you,

Yuna
