I named this piece True 2 Myself because I feel like this letter represents myself being true to myself, what I have to say to myself at this moment, May 25th, 2020. This piece True 2 Myself relates to this pandemic because this letter represents what I'm doing to keep busy during this pandemic and what I soon to look forward to. I chose to submit this type of response, because I feel like one day, I`ll stumble across this letter and reminisce about my High School days to my children or brothers. This letter will bring back memories of what happened in the year 2020. What was my inspiration? I decided to write a letter to myself because this pandemic led us this far into 2020, and it gave me an idea, to recap on what happened. At the end of this letter, I hope my audience gets a glimpse of what it was like for me to keep busy during this pandemic, I also hope my audience understands what I want my future self to beware of.
Wassup future Dyllan, this is Monday May 25th 2020. I`m 15 years young living in Beaverton, Oregon. I also go to Mountainside High School as a freshman, class of 2023. Currently there is a pandemic going on that's affected our entire society. This Covid-19 outbreak has killed over 332,000 people. What a time to live in, by the time you are reading this, you might have started your own family and moved away from Oregon. What am I up to as of May 25th? As of right now during this outbreak, I have been doing my school work, helping my mom around the house, and playing games on the Xbox. On June 9th, I will be flying back out to Maui to stay with my family for the summer. If you`re reading this, I hope you achieved your goals and never went back to your bad habits. I hope you stayed away from drugs and violence. I hope you took advantage of your High School days to have fun. Always remember family over anything, your family will be the ones who keep it real with you till the end. You grew up too fast to even realize how far you`ve come, time flew past so fast to where you`re reading a letter to your future self. I hope you never forgot about this document, it`ll bring back memories from the good old High School days. I hope my brothers grow up having a better life than I have. I hope they never experience the downs that I went through. I pray for myself to set a great example for them to look up to. I want to be a role model for them to look up to as they grow up. 2020 has been full of crazy events, NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi Bryant died in a helicopter crash on Jan 26th in Calabasas, California, what a time to live in.
