Advice from the Future You!

In one of the books we read this year, a message is passed on to a younger version of a person from their future self. I won't name the book as that is a pretty big spoiler, but the concept caused me to think about what kind of advice, encouragement, message, or simply heads up the kids may have felt worth passing on to themselves at the beginning of the year. Here are some of their responses.

Angel - "Make sure to be careful with whats about to happen. I also would prepare for meeting new people."

Connor - "I would tell myself that I need to practice my comprehension and also that I will need to start practicing my lines because a play is coming."

Daphne - "Try to work hard. Do the best you can. Be nice to people around you. Never give up. At least try."

Devraj - "You are really going to like the gold rush epilogue."

Isabella - "Before you start school make sure you have a math book to study first because your grade gets harder and more challenging. Be excited and if your new try to make friends because star Academy is so fun."

Jeremy - "I would give myself advice for math. Like multiplication. Or other types of math."

Olivia - "I would tell myself not to get into many arguments and to be nice and ask the the teacher to help me if I need it. Also make make new friends. Learn more stuff. Talk to people I don't know."

Sierra - "I would tell myself to be outgoing! Find new friends. I didn't know that people were fond of me before. Oh, and remind Mr. Fassler he needs to be more strict. :D See ya!"
