Letter to Your Future Self

You are going to write a letter to someone you know very well--yourself! For this assignment, you are going to imagine that you are writing to yourself as you will be in June 2012--in other words, at the end of your 9th-grade year.

What goals will you have accomplished? Whom will you have met and become friends with? What groups will you have become involved with at Mountain View? What new goals will you set?

You may also want to think about the reflection you wrote earlier about your life in 15 years. How do your goals for 9th-grade connect to your vision for your life in 2026? What can you do this year to start on the path to where you want to be in 15 years?

Your letter should include at least three paragraphs. Include at least three of the following in your letter.


 * academic goals (i.e., goals for yourself as a student)
 * extracurricular goals (i.e., goals for yourself as a Viking, such as joining a club or playing a sport)
 * emotional goals (i.e. goals for your personal relationship or your emotional growth)
 * community goals (i.e., goals for being involved in the community)
 * health/fitness goals

If you have a different kind of goal in mind, include it! Check with Ms. Pineda, Ms. Yoo-Brannon, Mr. Moran, or Mr. Weller if you have questions about your goal.
