Dear Gerry,
Your future can be as bright as you want it to be.
Just some thoughts from your 50 year old self.
-Don't be so serious all the time, learn to laugh a lot, especially at yourself and life in general.
-Don't ever quit, go down swinging
-Work on getting a scholarship for school or you'll have to go into the military.
-If you go into the military, save every dime and take as many college courses as you can.
-Drink to be sociable, not to get drunk.
-Take a self-defense course, like jujitsu
-Never get into a car with someone you just met, no matter who they know or how bad you need company.
-Get your real estate license, it will come in handy
-Don't read trashy novels, read Jane Austen instead
-Take every dance lesson you can, you'll stay busy doing something you love and stay in shape
-You won't meet the man you're going to marry til you're 30. So don't waste your time hoping for it sooner- use the time to learn Chinese cooking.
-go to that different religious service you've been wanting to visit
-Make all A's in school, you can if you want to. It will be worth it.
