Time Travelled — about 5 years

Peaceful right?

Dear FutureMe, Hi 18 year old Lizbeth (almost 19 year old) this is 13 year old Lizbeth 7th grade you I know you may be cringing at this and I don't blame you. Congrats on graduating high school! Are you going to University of Washington? I really hope you are and if you are yay I'm so proud of you I have a lot of questions for you so be prepared. Do you still wanna be a doctor? What was you SAT/ACT score? Is Kareli still your best friend? How was high school? What happened to the pandemic? Are you class of 2025? How many years of college are you planning on attending? How's Jonathan? How's mom? How's dad? How's Kevin? How's Cassandra and her beautiful family? What happened to your school friends? How's Ruby? Did Cassandra have anymore kids? Is Jonathan gonna get married anytime soon? Did Jonathan become a lawyer? What happened to Tatiana did she move away and lose contact with you? Did you join any sports or clubs? How's band? Are you still in your same room? What age did you start driving at? How was your last summer? Are you moving to Seattle? Did you graduate with honors? What your highest GPA? Did Kareli get a boyfriend? Did you visit Garfield? What happened to Tiktok? How's Catizum? Who are you still friends with? Is Shelby still alive or did she pass away? Is Tez, Rocky, and Mini still there? Did you have any teen jobs? How's your phobia of bee's? Ok so I'm done with the questions now moving on to things you probably have forgotten about? I did dance in 7th grade. I play clarinet. Cassandra got pregnant in January of 2020 and is having a baby girl. School got cancelled because of coronavirus. Jonathan is crusty. Odin is 3 right now turning 4 soon. I want to be a doctor (pediatrtion) really badly. I'm gonna be an 8th grader really soon. Mini is pregnant right now and is due in 3 weeks. I'm in my 1st year basically 2nd year of confirmation. And that's all I have to say. NEVER GIVE UP GOD IS ALWAYS HERE! I'll see you on the other side! :) Sincerely, 13 year old you
