ABSTRACT
This chapter describes a description of student's future messages. Future messages write to ourselves embody our "self-talk". Encourage students to write letters to themselves that they will open and read at the end of the school year. In 2013, the author discovered Dr. Jenn Berman through Sirius Satellite radio. She began to listen to her on the radio devotionally. Dr. Jenn helped her to understand that inner chats with her are "self-talk". These conversations have a powerful influence on our self-esteem, self-perception, and achievement. Glimpses of our thoughts and words from the past can shed light on our foundational beliefs, strengths, and passions. Teaching is tough. Sometimes lose our way. They need a pep talk from ourselves. Writing ourselves future pep talks helps us stay focused on our initial goals and philosophies. Digital tools have emerged that motivate us to share our feelings, emotions, experiences, thoughts, memories, and stories daily.
