Dear Morgan;
You young, naive and innocent little grade nine. Right now, you don't have a job, you barely have any homework to do after school and you have a bunch of time to spend with your friends. If you knew how much busier and more stressful life in grade 11 would be, you'd probably cherish your grade nine life a little bit more. Looking back, I even realize that grade nine was my favourite year, which I don't think you realized then. If you had realized it, again you probably wouldn't have taken a lot of the year for granted.
You got 80's in almost every subject while barely even looking at your homework most of the time, and it is DEFINITELY not like that now. If I didn't do my homework for a day in math class this year... I would fail. Thinking back, grade nine was amazing, and I don't think a lot of people can say that about their first year of high school. But I know that one day I'll end up looking back on grade 11 and probably realize how immature and naive I am this year, so it won't be very different from how I look at my grade nine self.
In the end though, things would have been a lot more different for you had you realized how much you'd end up missing good ol' 2009.
From, grade 11 Morgan :)
