Letter to Self

Dear Sean, My name e reading books, going to school, and playing Xbox. Seventh grade has been a challenge, yet a fun experience. With collecting cans for Mr. Shrampka, working on disease reports for science and language arts, and even working on president reports in civics, it’s been a long road. I have blonde hair with green-hazel colored eyes. I tend to be a more lay back type of person. I enjoy watching movies, playing basketball, and playing football in my spare time. I really don’t like when people sing in the middle of class because it drives me crazy. If there’s one thing I like more than anything, it’s hanging out with my friends. Some of my friends are John Happ, Willy Hauser, and Billy Alverson. I like to go watch movies when they first come out in theaters with them. We tend to go see action movies. I also enjoy having them over to my house, and going to their houses. I really enjoy hanging out with my friends. In my seventh grade year countless world events have been happening. One major one is the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. It started when an oil rig caught fire and has grown to become an ocean of oil. Also, the earthquake in Haiti came about. The capital of Haiti, Port au Prince was nearly destroyed. The last one was a huge scandal involving Toyota. Their cars were very dangerous because parts of the car were malfunctioning. My seventh grade year was full of world issues and events. Some of my favorite classes this year were civics, reading, and math. Civics, Spanish, and math were a challenge for me. In civics, I had trouble studying for the tests and quizzes. Spanish gave me trouble because I had trouble paying attention in class. Math was challenging because of some of the new concepts we were learning. School in seventh grade has been no walk in the park. I have pretty high expectations for the future. In high school I hope to be in a couple of advance placement classes. After I graduate from high school I hope to go to Purdue to become an architect. I want to design some famous buildings when I grow up. I would also like to enroll in the army at some point. It would be challenge and I could possibly lose my life, but I would still want to serve my country. That’s a little bit about me and my seventh grade year. I wonder what I will be like when I read this again. I try not to live in the future or the past, but in the present. Until then, Sean McGowan
