3. UFOs are signs of it!!

A note to my 5 year old self

Dear 5 year old Brigetta,

Hi! You are in kindergarten at Colin Powell Elementary school in Houston, Texas. There are some things that if you learn now, it will make your life much easier in the future. Don't sweat the small stuff. Appreciate life as you know it, for it only gets harder. Cry less, laugh more. Know your worth, and never let anyone tell you anything different. You are strong, confident, and smart, remember that. Never be afraid to say "no." Keep your mom and brother closest to your heart, don't push the away when times get tough, for that's when you need them most. Cherish every moment for all it's worth. Make mistakes. Break the rules. Laugh till you can't breathe. And tell your family you love them while you have the chance. Life will never be as good as it is now.

P.S. -Invent an internet social network called "Facebook"

Love,

18 year old Brigetta
