Memo to Self (Exit Slip)

“We often think of advice as passing on wisdom from elder to youth, teacher to student, parent to child. But what if the coin flips, and we, as

our present-day selves, offer advice to an older, more worn version of ourselves? Think of it as an exercise in self-love, a means of preserving and

protecting what’s important today well into the future.”

Memo to Self (Exit Slip)

Your exit slip for today is to think about the following:

What advice would you give to your future self?

1. Complete the letter

2. Fold along the dotted lines

3. Write your full name on the front

4. Hand it in before you leave for attendance
