Day 3: Dear 7-year-old me

Dear 7-year-old me,

Did you know that it gets better? You will not spend your entire life taking care of your siblings. You get a break! Unfortunately, it’s 10 years down the line. But trust me, those skills come in handy. You did good, love. And you continue to do good. Oh, and that “I wanna be a teacher” attitude? Just know you take it seriously.Teaching is lit, and you’re gonna love it. Appreciate having responsibilities, lol. well, you do… you know what I mean.

Tune in for tomorrow for the next day! Feel free to chip in in the comments or take it for yourself! Feel free to check out my first two days of the challenge!

New Paltz

Call me Jai [which rhymes with 'hi']! I'm currently a student at SUNY New Paltz, majoring in Communication Disorders and minoring in Deaf Studies. I'm a huge fan of horror movies, comic books, and Harry Potter. I've been writing since I was young, and I specialize in spoken word and short stories. I am originally from Brooklyn, but have lived in a variety of states over the years. I love music (anything in the alternative rock/pop punk/rap & hip-hop genre is my jam). I aspire to be either a Teacher of the Deaf or speech-language pathologist in a school, after I get that Master's, of course (and possibly my PhD). I also want to be an advocate for mental health in the Black community, speaking out for those who do not have a voice. Writing novels like Stephen King and J.K. Rowling in the future is just a side job :)
