I am very proud of myself, letter

[DaSadGirl]

If you were looking for some shitty one liner thread, then I suggest you click the back button. It's pretty long.

Okay, around four years ago, when I was in the 8th grade, I had this English teacher, that made us write about ourselves. She told us that she would keep these letters about ourselves and when we were close to graduating from high school, she would send it back to us for us to see how our minds changed and developed.

Well today, I get a letter and on the envelope I see my name in my jubbly print handwriting with my 8th grade teacher's name on it. I opened it, but I was scared to see how embarassing the letter was. The letter read,

Dear XXXX,

I'm in the 8th grade which means I'm going to graduate from Middle School this year. Many people doubted me in the beginning of this year but they thought wrong about me because I'm going to graduate.Nobody thought that I as going to make it but me. Even though I'm going to grauate, it doesn't mean that I'm a school person.
My hobbies are playing video games, sitting down and do nothing; which could be fun at time, and think to myself. Alot of people think I'm weird but just because I know things about people that most people wouldn't know about doesn't make me weird, thats just my talent.
My strengths are that I'm a strong person. Not tall big muscle strong, but I'm strong.......in the mind. It's really hard to offend me and I always win when I'm arguing with someone because I always know what to sat at the right time. I really don't have a weakness and if I did I wouldn't tell anyone. Don't trust anyone.
Most peopel want to go to college, but I don't. I wanna get a job were I could get paid alot without needng to go to college. I'm not sure what the job could be, but as long as I make people happy from it, I'll take it, but I'm not worried about that now.I'll find that job four years from now. And four years from now, I'll look back at this and say,"This is what I wanted to do. Nobody could change that, only time can, but too bad cause I'm never going to change my ways exept on trying to be a better person.

Sincererely,
Me/ XXXX

Overall, I'm proud of myself because even though I'm waaaaay smarter and wiser, I see that I was pretty damn good at that age. I wonder what that teacher saw in me. I sort of feel like writing back.

You should write back....*sob*

[rainmaker]

I can sorta see what you mean.
Though there need to be a lot more intellectual, mature people to compensate for the fucking morons out there.

[Truth]

its ok,
you dont have to write back to me

[the-scouser]

Wow, i take it this was befor you started caring about how you looked or if you could fit in with the trends...... Ahhh how them days where.

[ZeroAsALimit]

That's quite moving really.

Yeah, the best thing in a job is the sense of helping the community.

[Jerkapotamus]

Did you ever figure out what that job was? The one where you made people happy and made lots of money. Perhaps a balloon salesman? You just need to sell a bunch.

[ZENON]

Did you ever get a job like that? Just wondering.

No, the part that amazes me is that I almost think the same, just more 'upgraded' and more complex. It's nice to see that I was in fact someone special and not one of those stupid conceited wannabe smart kids, like my classmates at the time.

A prostitute. Just playing, I'm thinking about becoming a video game/ graphics designer, that sort of thing, you know?

Do you have that job now?

[CleverNickname]

We did the same exact thing this year. I'm probably going to say "The fuck was I thinking?" when I see it.

[LyttleFoxx]

Do what you feel. I still talk to my elementary teachers & I'm a junior.

[munchies]

I can't wait to get my letter.

[ThreeStar]

Ah, I wish I had done something like that.

Your letter sounds a lot like me at that age, but I pretty much hated everything at the end of 8th grade. ;/

I would prefer to talk to her regularly and not sending her letters like I'm some sort of pen pals. If only I found her on Myspace. Lawl.

That's cool. Hope you don't change addresses and that your teacher keeps his/her promise. Four years later from now, if you get that letter, I want you to fucking post it, ok? The feeling is great.

Wow... That got to me. If I were a teacher I would make something very similar to what your teacher did. Anyway, you seemed like a intelligent but not very nice-to-hang-out kid. I hope that changed. Thanks for posting this.

[Chumbawamba]

I had to do that in the 8th grade too. I've forgotten what I wrote, so it will be a surprise after graduation.

[Mast3rMind]

I had one of those too. I looked back at and had noticed how much I changed how much of a dreamer I was before reality kicked in. If I remember it correctly, one my lines was "When I get out of High School, I'm gonna be rich. Without having to do anything." I read that part, and almost died laughing. It's good to reflect. If I were you, I would hold on to it so you can look back.

I was a nice person to hang around with. The same, it's just that I was more of a shy person back then. I'm much more talkative now.

That was the reason I was afraid to open the letter.

I had the same mind set as you did with the whole, "I'm going to be rich." Only with me, I thought that I woulnd't have to go to college or anything. I'm going to keep it. It's going into my safe where my other precious memories and items are inserted.

Looking back on posts I made yesterday embarrasses me, so I never look back. That kind of thing would make me depressed.
Yours is pretty good though, you only have some obious traits that come with being young, and obviously a NGer, with the distrust of everyone...

[Span-home]

that was looooooooooooooooooooong

[Overlord-Master]

i see you've gotten better at writing since 8th grade...

That's the best part. Learn from your earlier mistakes. Look at your past, to better your future. It's something that everyone should do.

Lawl! I laugh at your laughing. It's kind of sad to see that though because over here, some people start to become fuck-ups when they are still in elementary school. In middle school, some kids are on the trail of dropping out and/or flunking. I'm glad I wasn't one of those kids.
