Final Letter To Self
Dear Kate,
Well it’s been a year since I wrote that letter wondering what University life would actually be like. Reading back on what you wrote, it’s safe to say that my ability to write a letter certainly hasn’t improved, its still as bad and unprofessional. You assumed that this year will of involved making new friends and being independent and that has definitely happened. I feel much more of an adult than before and even my parents have noticed the change in me when I have been home, saying not only do I look older but also I act older and mature.
My personality trait of being bubbly, upbeat and cheerful has helped me to settle in with new people and even better in my studies. I have made a lot of friends on my course and everybody is easy to get along with and everybody is willing to help each other if anybody needs help, which is nice to know that someone is there for you to seek advice from and not be afraid to ask for it. That was something that you concerned about in the previous letter, not being confident enough to ask someone for help. One problem resolved. I definitely don’t rely on my parents as much as I used to. I feel more like an adult and don’t look forward to going home as much as this is now home to me.
You outlined the fact that university is not just meant for fun, but for work, as you did a lot of it to get here and it would be a shame to throw it all away now. I feel that I’ve done a good amount of work and have balanced my work and social life well.
Reviewing my wishes on the previous letter, about hoping to better both my theory and practical skills, I can now say that after a year, I have improved both dramatically as we have had a balanced amount of both areas. I have really enjoyed the practical side to the course. It has been fun yet educational at the same time. And the module I am doing now which focuses on the roles in a TV Studio, I think this is an area I am going to wish to focus and build my learning around for my career aspects and future jobs/work experience.
After a year, I think the next two will be as valuable to me and will prove to be challenging yet exciting. Fingers crossed you manage to stay as focused as you are now as the next two years are going to be much more difficult and topic focused. But still, enjoy yourself and don’t be scared of anything.
Dare to be the best!
Kate
