Final Assignment

Write a letter to your classmates from this pre-college program - but write it to their future selves. Maybe to them when they're 60 and thinking about retirement, or 25 and done with college - it should be at least five years in the future. What are your hopes for them? What do you think they might have done with their lives? What is important to you for them to remember about you, about your teachers here, about the time you shared here at the pre-college program? As always, there is no length requirement - it should be as long as you need it to be to say what you need it to say.

If you are more comfortable writing a song or a poem, you are welcome to do that too, as long as it's about your experience here and something you share with your classmates.

During the morning on Saturday, you'll have the opportunity to share these letters. You can either read your letter yourself or you can give it to Miriam to read - either way is fine. If you would prefer that your letter be read without your name attached, just let Miriam know in advance.

We will work on these for the last part of class. If you are not finished by the time class ends, you are welcome to work on it later and bring it to breakfast.

If you decide, at the breakfast, that you'd like copies of these, I will check in with all of you and we'll see about whether we can do that, and how.
