2. Write a letter to your future self
Okay, I'll admit it. Writing a letter to my future self was a little weird. But in about five months from now, I think I'll be glad I did it. If I'm not moved by what I've written to myself, at least I'll be amused.
When Rachael and I first came up with this task, we thought it would be interesting to write a letter to ourselves in September and open it on graduation day. For Project Explore, that is not realistic because I would not be able to open it prior to the presentation. Instead, I wrote a letter to myself to open just before my presentation. I think that will be a nerve-wracking day, and I'll need some of my own sage advice. Maybe sage is too strong a word....oh, well. Here are a few excerpts from my letter.
I did eventually get to the real point of my letter: advising myself about the presentation. Although Project 52 may be entirely different from what it started out as, I feel confident it can turn out to be something great. Our Project Explore has been one of those "all over the place" kind of ideas, and I think the presentation can tie it together with a central theme.
This letter now has a specific spot on my desk for the next five months. I will certainly laugh at myself and criticize myself. But above all, I hope I will be able to take my own advice. |
