Every year I have my students write a letter to themselves. The first part of the letter is a review of the year, and not just school. Write about everything (classes, friends, parties, family occasions, holidays, trips, good times, sad times, teachers, hobbies, books, movies. The more you write about, the more you will enjoy it three years from now when I mail it to you. The second half of the letter is predicting how your life will evolve over the next three years. i have been doing this for over thirty years and it is always one of the first things mentioned when I see my former students. Clean your text and bring it in! |
