letter to self

Dear young daring 17 years old, 6 years from now, you will be 23, on your second year at Valencia Community College, now known as Valencia College. I know Valencia College is the last college you thought you would end up enrolling in, but trust me, a lot of things you plan will not go accordingly and believe me, it will all work for the better. As you know, no one can ever lie to their self, so your trust is requested in order to continue.

From experience, I know you are having a hard time adjusting to your surroundings, but things will fall into their place in due time; do not get discourage. As I stated earlier, you will be attending school at Valencia College Majoring in Criminal Justice, and I also stated that many things you plan will not go according to plan; I know Criminal Justice is far from a medical degree, but you will understand the reason behind this change of mind as you proceed in life.
Classroom rules, Who should give a care in the world for them? That is your mindset right now when it comes to following your teachers directions, trust me pal, I would advise you follow these rules for your rebellious act against them will result in greater punishments. Fighting against your fellow peers seems to be your forte, which you think is the best solution to your current situation, I can assure you; IT IS NOT. As a matter of facts, it is the worst, and as you grow up to the awesome, calm and collected guy I am, you will reminisce upon those times as I
Am right now, laughing at yourself asking, “What were you thinking Briand?”
Therefore, as a result to stirring up trouble in the classroom and advocating for every Haitians at
D.P high (not that there’s anything wrong with defending them; Hint: Criminal Justice major),
Why not throw in some after school extracurricular activities to your schedule, \or join a sport team? I believe you will make a great soccer or basketball player.

You always had a thing for crazy girls and I am still trying to figure out why you always go for
Them. In the middle of the third nine weeks semester of your senior year, you will encounter
Suzanne Felizor; the girl you will think is the girl of your dream, even when every signs will be screaming “DANGER ALERT!!” Heads up man, she’s not as angelic as she may seem and stay far away from her house as possible. In the beginning of your 2013 fall semester of college, you will cross path with a certain young lady. Man will she be the hardest girl you will ever meet!!
You were this close to quitting, until she finally opens up. I can’t really help you out with name that would be cheating, nonetheless you will be impressed (so go on and pat yourself on the back). In November 17, 2013, you will blossom a relationship with that certain young lady and my advice to you will be “try your hardest” because girls like her are scarce to find. I think she may be the one and right now you are thinking “how is she different from that crazy girl
Suzanne?” The first time you lay eyes on her, you will see. Treat her right man.

Lastly, I know you can take care of yourself, except in those categories, good luck with the upcoming chaos you are going to cause. I will not tip you on that event because it is the reason I am who I am today; you are going to handle it like a boss!

Sincerely, 23 years old self
