A Letter from the Future

Imagine that you are twenty-eight years old, and you're writing to a cherished teacher whom you haven't heard from in ten years. Tell him/her about your professional life. What do you do for a living and how did you get there? Consider the following: What schools did you attend? What special training and degrees do you have? Where do you work and what is the name of your company? What do your coworkers and boss think of you? What professional successes and awards have you enjoyed since graduating from high school.



Dear Teacher,

How is life? I figured it has been a while (well, more like forever) and I should send you a letter to catch up on things. As of right now, I am a counselor at Peanut Middle School and I absolutely love it. I ended up going to CCC for two years because Stockton did not accept me right away and once I finished up there, I transferred to Stockton to study sociology and counseling as well as education. On my spare time, I am taking courses for special education at there, considering how much I enjoy working with children and new challenges, I figured I should expand my education and learn something new. Counseling is going extremely well; this is perfect for me. Instead of high school drama along with all of the college buisness that I cetainly do not want to get wrapped up in and working in groups with elementary schools, I am glad I chose to be a guidance counselor for middle school. To get the chance to play a role in a child's life when they are blossoming into an adolescent is a pleasure. I can remember when I was that age... They don't call it the period of "storm and stress" for no reason! pre-teens and teens at this age need someone there for them to listen to their drama with friends, teachers, and family. I have two children at home and a husband, Henry, whom I have been married to for 8 years now.


My family & I- Me, Henry, Julian, and Luna Some of the students here, aren't they cute?
