Dear 13 year old Logan,

Hey there, how are you doing? This seems really strange but I’m you 4 and a half years in the future, right now I’m a senior taking my exams, as the first semester is ending and I'll finally have one more semester left until I’m finally done with school. Speaking of school, how’s that going for you? I hope you're not struggling too hard, and I hope everything is working well for you and you’re getting the help you need. Because I'm gonna tell you right now, you’re gonna struggle, you’re going to get overwhelmed and stressed out, and you’re going to wanna give up. You can’t give up though, it’s too late, you’ve gone too far. Right now you’re probably learning about pre algebra and it’s confusing and hard to you and it’s overwhelming you. You have to hang in there, even if you don’t think you got it, you do. You have everyone around you wanting to help you so take advantage of that please.

Basically what I’m trying to say is that life isn’t perfect, and there’s times when life isn’t as great as you want it to be, and since you’re 13 you’re just figuring that out. But that doesn’t mean there’s no way around it or you can’t fix it because you absolutely can. It just takes patience, and effort. Especially in school because I know you hate it and you don’t wanna be there I understand, but you have to do it, so keep pushing through it, you’ll be ok.

In life there’s always gonna be obstacles and you’re gonna have to face and do things you don’t wanna do, either because you’re scared or it takes too much effort. I won’t lie and say that I’m guilty of this. Constantly missing homework, being afraid to do some things or go to certain places. But the only way to deal with these obstacles is to move forward and face them.

Thank you for reading this, enjoy your time as a 13 year old because you’re gonna have a lot more fun when you’re young and in middle school, don’t let school or anything else bring you down, keep your head up, and keep moving forward.

-Logan
