This is a letter to my younger self and while highly personal I believe its more eloquent than one I have thought about putting on here before...you may comment if you would like...I would love to hear what your number one piece of advice would be if you wrote a letter to your younger self.
Dear younger self,
One day you will be 20 years old and still living at home. You will still be behind in school but it won't matter anymore because you will finally be in college. You will meet handsome guys and have crushes but you won't meet one yet that you think you will marry. You will have your heart broken...but it won't be a huge crushing blow it will be more of a silent pain that the guy doesn't even know about because he doesn't know you care for him like that.But it will be ok because your still friends and you don't want that to change.
Be encouraged though! You will have great friends and a fairly great first semester in college (even though it has had its hardships). You are so blessed by the people you have in your life and you realize it more and more with each passing day, month, and year! Tip: You grow farther away from the people you are close to now and become siblings with some of the people you least expect.
You will still have a rough relationship with mom but you are learning to deal with it in a hopefully more Godly manner...Things are still hard with family sometimes but God is still in control.
You will one day finally be in college, have a car, and be alot more independent...I am there you made it...but it costs alot more than you thought it did and while well worth it...its a crazy life
The car was a hardship with alot of repairs and tears. Still needs a small repair but God did provide even though he probably provided a smaller blessing than He would have had you been more patient. Work on patience! lol
In college your first semester you will have some good professors and some not so good. You make some decent friends and its not so scary. Also you don't completely fail as you feared. I think you will make it through and be doubly excited for your second semester. :)
Overall life is ok. The same family, The absolute best of friends, college, a car, and just a little heartache and hardship. You have built and are building alot of character still. The story isn't over...hopefully its just beginning. I don't know about you then but me now can't wait to see what God writes next...hoping for a romance but you know what I will take adventure or whatever else God has lol.
Love,
Your current self :)

A couple of rules and guidelines for comments:
1. Please have them be appropriate... in the langauge you use, your grammer (As much as possible. I don't expect perfection.), and in regards to staying on the subject of the post.
2. Be honest. Share stories and personal experiances if you would like but please don't share names and locations and such...I don't say this to be mean but to protect everyone here =)

I would have told myself that I was going to want to be a nurse and that I had better work harder in school and not take some of the un-needed classes I took. I would have also told myself who my real friends were going to be and not to waste too much time on those who weren't real friends.
