To the Audrey of the future. Well 2011 Audrey.

Dear Audrey,

I am really proud of you. You have successfully proven that you can live completely on your own. I have to admit that there have been times when I thought you wouldn’t be strong enough to do it, but once again you have proven…,well, me I guess, wrong.  I have no doubt in my mind that your long distance relationship will work out. I know that this will make you two even stronger than before.

I also want to say how impressed I am that you have made it to your last year of college. After this semester (spring 2011) you will be student teaching. (Have you decided if you are doing your student teaching in England yet?) You have grown into a strong and confident young teacher, and I am so happy to be you. I never thought this day would come, but here it is,  and here you are. So close to being finished.

This school and move to a new city was the best choice you could have made. Change has never been something you have handled well, and I think this profession has really taught you a lot about that as well. I’m even starting to relate every life change to education, this is a quality I’m sure you’ve become very used to.

I am so in awe of the fact that you know that where you are is exactly where you are supposed to be. I have trouble getting outside my bubble of fear. I can’t help but worry if I’m making the right choices, and I think about you and how confident and assured you are that it gives me solace. Thank you.

With all of the self love I can give,

Audrey

I am becoming a fan of affirmations. I usually feel at my worst because I want to, and I know now that it doesn’t have to be like that. I wrote this letter as a sort of if I write it she will come thing. I am seriously going to love Audrey a year from now. I have a feeling everyone else will too.
