Hi Kyle! It has been a great year for you this 2021, you have moved to a different country, you now live with your mother, and you have now encountered new culture and friends. So far, I am very proud of how much you have accomplished in your academics and your life. I know that you are currently having a hard time with your mental health but I hope you would soon be okay.

As I can recall you are contemplating what subjects should you take after watching those ATAR reaction videos, you have doubted yourself on how much could you give with regards to your capabilities in academics. 95+ ATAR isn’t impossible for you to achieve, I know you are great, and I know you can do it once you believe in yourself.

As early as Year 8 you already know the different college courses that you are willing to take, but you have always been full of doubts about something if you can do it or not. You excel in doing Math and Science. You want to pursue Medicine and/or Engineering and that is a big step for you to take in just 2 years’ time. I know it is not easy to be good at something but as long as you strive for it, you can do it. Your friends, family, and teacher believe that you can do it.

Improving your study habits, health, and mindset can really change the course of your life and I would recommend you to assess the things that you have and let go of the negative things that are holding you back. By the time you see this in a few years’ time, I hope you would be happy and successful by then and I hope you start accomplishing those dreams that you have starting today.

Be it an engineer or a doctor, both of those degrees can set you up for success. I know that you have a full grasp on the things that you wanna do, and I know you know that doubts can make you fall from the stage you are in. But sooner or later you would have better thinking that will make you the better you not just for yourself but also to those around you.

--For future references--

To my future self, by this time around you should be happy in the things that you did and you should be contented with what you have.
