Dear Satsumi,
You have a lot of potential and many opportunities to demonstrate your capabilities.
Sometime you may encounter the obstacles or problems which you cannot quickly solve.
I would suggest that you look at the obstacle as an opportunity. You need to roll up your sleeves and actively work to resolve the issues and achieve what I know you can.

Dear Me, c. age 13,
Hi, me. The other note in this envelope has enough information to convince you that I'm really you, writing from the future. Before you read any further, you should read that piece of paper -- it's got all of your joking 'time travel' passwords on. Don't destroy it yet. Okay?

Eileen Sweeney has a new slogan: "A woman, an idea, and a network can change the world." She'll be bringing that message to the world on Wednesday when the twenty-four hour Global Marathon For, By and About Women in Engineering begins. The theme of this year's marathon is "Launching Tomorrow."Sweeney, director of the Motorola Foundation, was one of the speakers at the prerecorded kickoff event that will be broadcast to open this year's marathon. She joined Leslie Jones, Motorola's Chief Information Officer, and -- via webcast -- former astronaut Sally Ride in a presentation more than 150 women and girls in Chicago. It was followed by a panel discussion with professional engineers and businesswomen and one engineering student. The Global Marathon is a series of events happening in countries around the world that will bring professionals, academics, businesswomen and students together to talk about engineering. Starting at 12 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on March 10, participants will join in live chats, conference calls, and webcasts, and watch prerecorded sessions. Every four hours the marathon will shift regions, following the sun from North America to South and Latin America, then China, India, Africa and the Middle East, and Europe before returning to North America for a closing discussion about where to go next with the marathon's ideas. Sweeney says the marathon will "highlight all the dimensions of what it is to be an engineer." |

Pay more attention in Calculus class and in Matrix Algebra. Sometimes you need to read the book more than once to understand it. It's no big deal. There is nothing you can't figure out. Some things just take longer than others. |
