Dear Jacob!

Dear Jacob Arndt,

I understand this may seem odd, but I am you from the future. I am going through all of this trouble to write this letter so I can inform you on a few things. You are not as mature as you will eventually become and because of this I am telling you that you need to stay focused on your studies and worry on the important things. It may not seem like it, but these things make a difference. I figured it would help you more in life if I were to write this letter and tell you these things.

I remember how you feel about school and how you are not exactly to fond of waking up and going, but it will help you in the long run. I know the adults are frequently telling you these things and it kind of just goes in one ear and out the other, but when you are older you will realize that they are just trying to help you succeed in life. I know you are not the best in science and most of the time you don't even study, but you need too. If you know you have a test coming up, why wouldn't you study for this? Why would you let yourself be unprepared for something that will help you achieve a good grade? It does not make sense.

You are sixteen, you only have a couple more years and you will be on your own. It is a lot more stressful than life is now. You will encounter many stressful situations. This is why you must try your best to achieve your goals at a young age. You must continue your studies, stay on track, and most importantly do not give up. This will make sure our future is going to be a good one.

Sincerely,
Jacob Arndt
