A letter to myself

Dear Richard (or Bozzie as you will come to be known by),

It goes without saying that during your time at Grammar you will will experience a wide array of emotions, make a number of new friends and aquire a variety of valuable skills. I would hope that without reading this you would already have an idea that these things are going to happen. Instead, what I would like to address in this letter are the things that perhaps have not crossed your mind as you stand at the doorway of this new schooling era.

I have come to the conclusion that the best way to go about this task is by constructing a list that I would have liked to have access to myself as an insignificant third former entering a school of around 2,500 young men at he time. I guess you could call it a guide.

*Hang out with people you like, not the people you want to like

*Have faith in yourself, you'll be surprised how much it helps

*If you want something, go get it. Don't expect that something to come to you 

*Venture outside your comfort zone, for everything is uncomfortable until you try it

*Don't waste time doing things you don't enjoy, your time here will pass faster then you think

*Strive to achieve the school values. They're there for a reason

With that done, I don't have much left to say, after all I don't want to give away to many surprises. 

All the best buddy, have a blast. 

Richard (Bozzie)
