1. My 2024 time capsule
By Jaden Holsey

2. Letter to my future self
Dear Future Self,
By the time you’d be reading this, you should be in your second year of college. Yesterday marked my first time seeing the solar eclipse. I hope you are fulfilling your dreams as planned. Such as going to medical school, residency training and becoming a pediatrician. Right now I picture my self living in a condo and experiencing life at a new perspective and just having fun in my life. I pictured having a golden retriever and hopefully Connor (if he’s still living). If doctoring doesn’t work, just know you can always switch to being a lawyer.
Love,
Past Self

4. Pediatric field
I know that all I’ve wanted to do in for a career is be a pediatrician. I wanted to go through 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and 3-4 years of residency training. I planned to attend Howard University, Hampton University, or Spelman University. All of which are HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities).

5. Current events
One current event that is most exciting to me is band. Remember when you joined band in 8th grade? I am looking forward to the remainder of the year in band. I play the clarinet. We are currently learning our first song, wobble. It is very difficult, but probably because this is my first day playing in the band room and I can obviously tell that they move pretty fast in their. But I know I can get the hang of it. The keys are easy to memorize and the instructor (Mr. Gaines), is very helpful to the point where I can work to my full potential.

6. Animals
I was also hoping around this time that I could posses a Golden Retriever. I planned to get one at birth so that I can train it and teach it to be very friendly. I hope my pet turtle (Connor) is still living to the day that you read this.
