I recently found a letter that I wrote myself back in 6th grade (I was 10) and was supposed to read when I was 20.  It’s pretty simple, and my handwriting hasn’t improved much since then, but I was surprisingly insightful.

My 6th grade self is right.  I’m not an oceanographer.  And I am foolish from time to time.  Go figure.
