A letter to my Future Self

Write a letter to your future professional self from your current perspective. What’s important to you now that you want yourself to remember?

Dear Me,

     Although these teaching classes seemed dumb and a waste of money, they helped you connect to teachers and understand their role in the classroom and how to work with them when you wanted to run groups and guidance lessons.

     Each year, try to go to an ASCA conference, they are always so much fun and have a ton of resources to use with students. They also will help you keep up to date with the school counseling world and what your role should be in the school.

     If you haven't already, go and start your second license in Mental health, it is something you always wanted to do and it will make you so happy. You really enjoyed Practicum and did amazing.

     Work hard and stay humble. Be okay with silence, sometimes the students need an extra minute to think. Don't stress, you always get everything done, even if it seems impossible. This is the job you always wanted to do, so don't get run down. Go to the gym instead to run off steam.

Sincerely, Your younger you
