Letter to my younger self

Dear Mickey mouse,

It was lovely seeing your Aunt and hearing how well you are doing!
I am proud of you for finally deciding to study. You must not feel intimidated by your age my friend. Instead, see yourself as older and wiser!

I was remembering when we were in England over Christmas, visiting your sister and her husband. I know it was a confusing time for you deciding which course to take. I am overjoyed that Journalism and Media studies have become a reality for you!
Your first term at Rhodes must have been tiring commuting between Port Alfred and Grahamstown. I am certain that since you have been living in your digs house, you must have plenty more time to focus on assignments and studies in general. If I can give you advice from when I was a student, you should probably have looked into finding a digs house at the beginning of the year.

How does it feel to be a first year at the age of 27? It is not as challenging as you thought that it would be right? I believe that fellow students are intrigued by your life, non-bias and friendly towards you, regardless. You should embrace new experiences. Get involved in everything that interests you, that you possibly have time for.
I am sure that you were tempted many times to party at night with the crowd. I think that you have done a fine job at keeping focused and having faith strong enough to remain true to God. In all things honor Him as He as he has honored you. I am so happy that you are part of a cell group. It is a privilege to have the support of a group of wonderful girls!

Have you made any plans for the December holidays? It would be lovely if you could come to Cape Town. We can shop!

Love always,
Michelle
