A Letter to My Future Self

Dear future me,

Let me hope that you are fine. Back to me, I am also fine.

I would like to remind you that when you were still young, you thought of being a nurse in Mulago Hospital. Now I think you are the best surgeon doctor. I hope that the people you operate do not die. That is God’s blessing.

I would like to remind you that you are now a surgeon doctor, but do you save people’s lives as you used to say you would do? Be careful in everything you do, my friend.

I would like to remind you that you are a surgeon doctor now. That is fantastic! I think you get good salary, but have you built a good house for your parents in the village? I hope you managed to do that, and I wish you the best if you did that.

I think that when you finished your studies, you got a good job, but you have met your favorite [unclear]? I also hope you are proud of your parents, as you used to tell your friends and teachers at school.

I wish you wealth in your work and have a nice life.

With hope and love,
