Hello, Sophia


   I hope you are doing well. Do you remember me? Of course you would -maybe- we have the memory of Dory. Maybe I'll decorate my graduation cap with something that has to do with Dory. I will write this letter in hopes that in the next couple of years you can read it and remember what your 17 year old self thought. I will write this on May 3, 2024. In a couple of days I graduate, which to me is pretty scary. Part of me can't believe this is actually happening. I remember back in August I didn't think it was a big deal because in 2 months I'll be attending "school" again. But I guess it is actually different this time. I feel like from now on I have to learn to be more independent, Figuring stuff out on my own. Let's refresh your memory. 

   What I currently feel like is one of my big accomplishments is being able to graduate. There were times where I really doubted myself and just wanted to give up. Hopefully you can write a letter to me about most things but for now. (now as in whenever you read this) Something I feel like I was able to overcome, would be passing my Ap classes. Although I'm passing 2 with some 70s and one with a high 80. My econ class really stressed me so much this school year. The teacher explained it well to the class and she let her students do test corrections. Everyone else seemed to get it, just not me. Oh well it's over now. 

   You, I feel like we're going to doubt ourselves in our future, but the world won't stop until we're "okay" and anyways we have to work hard so that one day - one day we can rest at home and do silly lady things. I do hope we make mom and dad proud. Maybe you can start writing children's books that show bible stories, or a fictional book on a character coming to the states from El Salvador. Maybe books similar to the style of Isaac Asimov or Frank Herbert, where you write so much and you lose control of your characters. I really hope that whenever you read this we're still friends with Ance, and if not that you don't forget how nice she was with us. 

    Hopefully in the next 5 years your done with your bachelor degree. If you follow your budget plan from your 12th grade math, you should have enough money to maybe even get a small apartment. I hope that we've worked in several places. Of course it's not good to work from place to place but to get a feel and maybe learn things that you won't learn in an office. I hope we've worked some weeks in the summer in our uncle's restaurant. As well as going to El Salvador and seeing our sweet old man. I hope that we've gotten closer to God and his helped us with some of our wishes. 

   Anyways, I'll wrap this up. High School was not easy, We met so many people and now we only talk to a handful then what we started with. But at least we did it, no? One graduation down only 1 or 2 more to go. (Bachelors and after a few years or working going back for a masters)  I hope you're happy when you read this. We will continue to be strong and don't ever give up.

 Today in class we had to answer some questions about our "culture". Mostly on what our parents view of us and perhaps our grandparents. One question was asking about how different expeactions our parents have for us then what there parents had in mind. Also on how the different generational values have changed. I wrote on how it has changed a bit. My grandparents would've wanted my mom and her sibling to go to university and pursue a career but they just didn't have money for it. They had to stay in the small town and help with the crops until most of them came to the US for a better life. So now my mom wants me to go to college even though I really don't want too. I'd rather start working now in some way, instead of studying for another 4 years maybe somehing I won't end up liking. Of course in life maybe you don't need a job you love because some way or another you need to pay the bills. But I'd rather start working now then feeling bad 4 years ...

 Today in class we had a bell ringer. For black history month, one bell ringer until the month ends. Today we had one on Denzel Washington. How he one an oscar for best actor of the year in 2001. We had to answer two questions, one was something along the lines of if the world would be better if there wasn't any racism. I don't remember the other question. Although ideal it would nice, but because of how humans are choosing bad there prolly be other problems. Then other classmates went up to present. It's really nice to see other music tastes with the soundtrack project some students did .

 Today in class we had to read something on CommonLit. We had to read abot the Vietnam war, and how Americans protested. How the United States really got involved because they were scared of the dominos effect. How if there were more countries with communism other countries could get the pressure and change to being communist. I find it really intersting how many of the young man burning the draft cards. Not shocking the part where back then student protested and police officeres would shoot out injurying the students. In the reading we did we also had to answer some questions and do a bit of writing.
