“I love this. I’ve sent myself five letters
so far and every year it’s a surprise. Because I forget so easily, it turns into such a deep reflective process that I usually weep and laugh while I write.”

about you and I hope you will be happy with
your tanned skin and chubby face. Please also

Dear FutureMe,
I hope everything is going well for you.
I’m currently in the firstterm of senior two and I’m trapped in a feeling of
uncertainty. I don’t know if I will do well in the three subjects I chose for my college entrance exam. And I’m not sure whether joining the Students ’ Union will impact on my studies.
I’m writing this because I've always been curious about you. Hopefully,
by the time you read this, everything will be better. For instance, you will be doing what you like. You will become a confident and capable woman
with a strong mind. Please also tell me you have a warm and loving
family.
Everything I do now will have an impact on you, but I can't foresee anything. So, believe in yourself and never regret.
Best Regards,
Me DELIVER IN
