Understanding the Self | An Open Letter For My Future Self

June 22, 2021

Dearest you,

How have you been? Our finals week is almost over and summer break is coming! I am happy that I survived my first year of college in this setup of learning. I can still remember the day I passed the entrance examination and qualified to apply to my dream school and dream course. At the beginning of classes, our professors often ask why did we take this course? I honestly do not know either, yet as time passes by I realized that my aim is to be a good leader, someone who is able to show members of the team their maximum potential in order to reach our goals together, someone who guides them through problematic tasks, and to inspire teamwork among the members in order for us to develop together.

How about you? What did make you happy today? Maybe you are tired while reading this letter, I want to remind you that you deserve a rest and celebrate your small achievements because you did not give up despite the hindrances you encounter along the way. I am so proud of you because maybe at this point you reached our goal to make our parents happy. Did you pursue your passion or choose to continue your career? Whatever your decision is, I know mama and papa will always get your back and support you on the things that could make you happy.

Please take care of yourself and do not forget to smile. Always keep your feet on the ground and never forget those people who helped you to achieve your goals. Lastly, have faith in Him and He will guide you to the right path of your journey.

Love,
Younger you.
