To a Younger Version of Myself MAG
November 13, 2008
Dear Me,
I do believe
you should find this letter
between volumes of
Harry Potter books
on a dark and rainy
Sunday.
There are many things
I feel I could tell you
that might make your world
a little easier.
But in doing so
you would lose
the spontaneity of life
The sudden, sharp
pain
of losing a friend, or
joy felt on that 4th of July
spent with him
even if it was
fleeting
…There is one thing
I’ll let you know.
In the spelling bee
(you’ll win this time
instead of getting second place)
if you spell
hexapod
with an A
not an O
Good Luck,
Rebecca

This is really cool!! I like the idea of writing to a younger 'you'. One thing I'd change is to make it longer--more details about the future and stuff. it's a little too short.
This is really cool! it reminds me sorta of what i do in my journal :P I often go back and make comments about the past entries just to see how i have changed! I reallly like this! Please check out my work, im pretty new so your opinions would be really nice!

I like how, since it was a letter to the younger version of yourself, you kept the tone light and young. Nice job. Definitely worthy of the mag. :)

I think it was cool how you added the whole spelling bee part, and how you would say to spell the word correctly. Very clever!
