Dear Me(or, since my youngerself would be reading this, is it Dear You?),

In the 3rd Grade, go out for a top pickpocket; you're more likely to get the role, and you'll still get some extra stage time, as well as being in another scene with Natalie. In fourth grade, don't let Sierra Adams boss you around so much when you and BSN and Bianca are preparing for the talent show. In fact, try not to let anyone boss you around. And never hang out with people that you feel the need to change for.

Get over your crush on Josh. It's never gonna happen; once you're out of sixth grade, you'll never see him again. Heck, you probably won't even notice him in your sixth grade year.

In your summer between fifth and sixth grade, when you find out that Frances has cancer, visit her more in the hospital. And don't be hesitant to hug her the first time you visit; nothing about your friendship has changed just because she has cancer. Try and make her cards to give her on your visits; hospitals suck a$$, and just because you come to hate hospital rooms doesn't mean you don't have to brighten one of your best friend's gray/white room for her.

In school, don't take the easy way out. Don't get distracted from homework; take the hard classes with pride in sixth grade. Stick with cello out of elementary school; don't play it in middle school, but stick with it as recreation. It'll make it easier when you join again in high school. Trust me; if BSN and I didn't have Vicky as a teacher, we would be so, SO screwed. Also, practice harder for piano. You get to play cooler stuff when you get better, such as Evanescence and Fall Out Boy and All-American Rejects.

Get into House and CSI and Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: CI and Bones in elementary school. Trust me, they will become your favorite tv shows of all time, and you'll hate that you missed out on so many seasons.

In middle school, don't try and fit in with people. Just be who you are; your true friends are the people who don't care what you dress like or what tv shows you watch. People are going to be mean; they're going to laugh at you, call you a freak, make fun of you and your friends, make you want to cry, and some immature punks will even throw food at you. Ignore their insults against you, but always stick up for your friends; always be there for them; and always protect them(you'll get used to being called 'Mom'). Your friends are going to hang out with different groups, but don't let that separate you from them.

Don't whine about being in honors classes; you'll be glad of it. Get closer to Asumi and Totorfan in the beginning of the year; don't wait 'til the end of seventh grade/beginning of eight to start those frienships. Get closer to Charley as well; act on your thoughts about what should be said with her. Trust me, she'll need a friend who can listen, so listen well. In science, become friends with Koiblab in the beginning of the year also!!! Ms. Ernsbarger will never split you two up, trust me.

Go to the first day of color guard tryouts also!!! Trust me, doing so will totally help your transition into high school, and you will find something that you really love to do :))))) Don't get too disappointed and frustrated, ok? It's gonna be hard, but it's totally worth it.

Don't you dare be mean to BSN. She's the best thing that will ever happen to you, and you shouldn't take her for granted. Always, always, always listen to her. And try not to pick fights, ok? You'll hate doing so later. Play every chance you get You'll do it as you get older, even in high school! Some people might call it role-playing; but it'll always be playing.

Keep reading! And try writing, ok? You'll get into it; you'll also get into drawing. Listen to all sorts of music; educate yourself in the different genres :)))

I think that's it. So now, just follow my advice. I really wish that I could send this to you, but since you'll never read it, I'll post it here for my fellow peers.

Love,

Me
