To the lovely and brutal Autumn Bonner

Autumn, as a one of your previous peers, I am glad, if not honored to communicate the commendable action you are about to take that I guarantee will progress your future. In all honesty, AP is hands down, one of , if not the best, classes I have ever taken. I know that you will take advantage of every piece of literature that will grace your presence. May that be the the gruesome and vindictive actions of Bigger in Native Son or the reflective mind transversive plot of Brave New World . Future tips:

• If Mrs. Hill says take notes, TAKE NOTES.
  
• Don't wait last minute for anything.
• Buy two flash drives.
• Read more than what is assigned in class. Any individual reading will make for great outside connections and discussion starters.
• Be open to extremes on every level.
• Blog. Blog. Blog. Blog. Blog. Blog. BLOG.
• Start college stuff early on so that the end of senior year can be just a little less stress free.

Autumn, I have great faith in your success, may it be getting a five or accomplishing timed writing, which I never got down. Whatever you do, work hard for what you want, never sub comb to failure and stay grounded. In the words of Kanye West, yes Kanye West, "Sometimes giving up is harder than trying."

Love and Luck,
Jasmine Cutright
