Future Self

Dear Zahra,

OH MY GOD! How are you doing?! Are you enjoying your first year of high school? I hope so, because it only gets worse. Seriously, be prepared for chemistry next year, STUDY EVERY SINGLE DAY. Oh, and don’t even get me started on your upcoming math classes. Not as easy as you think, Zar. Pre-calc was awful. Make sure you do well your junior year. Junior year proved to be the toughest. Take as many SATs and ACTs as possible! Take those Sylvan classes that Mommy is going to tell you to take. They honestly, will probably end up being worth it. Now, I know you’re not a slacker, so I don’t have to tell you not to get senioritis. I can assure you that you will get into most of the universities that you apply to, because you’re a great girl, Zahra! Remember to always be respectful to your teachers, because it will pay off in the end. One thing I would reassure you is to take more SAT classes. Though you aren’t a bad student, your SAT score could have been MUCH higher. I believe, all you need is some more studying. BY THE WAY, please do not concentrate on the immature boys in your grade. They are just jealous of you, Zahra. Don’t associate yourself with boys, you associate yourself with men. Boys don’t become real men until they’re AT LEAST 25 years old. Please do not waste your time. Focus on your education, as you have been doing, and graduate with flying colors! Mom and Dad will be asking you constantly on your future plans. Try not to get an attitude with them (though, it’ll be hard). All you have to do is, keep reassuring them that you plan to go to law school to study international law. Keep your head up, and show everyone, just how great you are! 

Lots of love,

FUTURE Zahra
