Author’s Note: Hello there. I’m an EOP (Educational Opportunity Program) student at CSU, Chico. As an EOP student, I was given an opportunity to go live in the dorms at CSU, Chico with my other EOP peers in my incoming class for two weeks during the summer. During Summer Bridge we were given the opportunity to write a short letter to our future selves. We would see these letters again after our first year was done. When I got my letter back, my paraprofessional told me many of my fellow classmates cried after reading their letters. I didn’t tear up but I definitely felt emotional with a sense of relief. Like holy shit, I completed my first year of college. Anyways, enjoy!

Dear Future Manting,
Hey bro! Look I know how uncertain you feel about attending college. Summer Bridge wasn’t a wake-up call but I know you were a bit intimidated after receiving so much info from Summer Bridge. You’ll have a lot of stuff to do; schoolwork, social life, job, license, etc… I know you’re worried about all of that. BUT! You have done so many amazing things in the past and you’ve persevered through a lot of difficult trials. Believe in yourself, your ability, and don’t give up. You’ve made it this far, time to take it to the next level my friend. I’d hope by the end of freshmen year, you haven’t failed your classes and quit. So, make sure to go to Student Services Center. I know you have the “Do it by yourself mentality” but we both know you will need help along the way. So don’t forget to ask for it. See you after the first year!
