Letter 1: Your Future



High school is starting.  There is no denying it.  You are growing up.  The first day of high school is always a turning point.  It is where you know you cannot go back to being that little pig-tailed girl or young boy, yet you don’t know yet know how to be an adult.  You will grow as a person more in the next 4 years than maybe any other time in your life.

Where your future goes is a journey that you will have to write the pages on your own. Your way. 

It will be hard at times like climbing the sledding hill for the 20th time, but the ride to the bottom will be worth it most of the time. 

You can choose the way to go, the path in this adventure, the dirt roads to take, the paths to cut yourself, and when to follow the pack.

You will find who you are, who you are not, and who you want to be. When you find yourself on the wrong road in the wrong place, the lesson is learning not to regret  being there, rather it is to find the simple joy in all you have learned and figuring out how to turn the corner to someplace better. 

I am here to guide you, but I promised you that I would let you learn to fly.

My advice to you is: YOU OWN YOUR FUTURE.  Don’t let anyone else take that from you.  Your father and I have given you all we can, and we know you are strong enough to DO IT YOUR WAY.

Love,
Mom
