A letter to myself

To Josh Hamilton,

I am writing to you now 4 years on to provide you with some advice for your Grammar journey. You have chosen simply the most exciting and action packed path to go down for this next chapter of your life. You might not see that you have yet but trust me it is. I shouldn't spoil your possible future so I'll just stick with some wise words - that may or may not affect my life at the moment.

Take what you have learnt from you intermediate years at school and apply those to your studies and your interactions with others so that you have a solid platform that you then can build off later in school. 

When opportunities rise, take them. Within reason, take everyone. I can honestly say I let a few slip by - don't let that happen to you. 

You will make mistakes. That is okay though. With mistakes there is learning, so I encourage you to not be afraid to make more mistakes in the next 4 years because if anything you will learn something from each one of them. 

Stay close to the people who care for you the most. Don't shy away from a helping hand. And start helping others towards the right path earlier. 

Josh, enjoy school, don't worry about everything as everything turns out okay, learn from others, and be yourself.
