Dear former me,
It seems like only yesterday, I was at UP. It was the spring term, 2023.
So much has happened since then. You finished your Bachelor and you were able to finish your Master’s in ESOL. Since then you were able to move back home and you are now teaching 4th grade at Aina Haina Elementary School (Mr. Burns is still there lmao). We have been there for 5 years now and going on to 6. Not gonna lie your first year was a little rough but you pushed passed it. All of that hard work during student teaching helped out so much. Now all your work is paying off. Your classroom is filled with books and drawing from previous students and students actually like you. It’s quiet right now since it’s the summer but once the school year rolls around, it’s never quiet.
Currently, we are planning a trip to Japan during the winter with the boys. You finally get to see Fuji-San this time. It’s been ages since we have been able to go there but, since you have been working hard these past years, we are able to go.
Well, I don’t want to spoil too much for you. Good luck and enjoy it
Future you
Our daughter’s family was stationed in Tokyo for 3 years. Never forget seeing Fuji from the bullet train. Quite a site. Hope that all comes true for you.
