Sarah's letter is excellent - even if you're not a sports fan.
It seems like a good exercise in self-reflection and I briefly considered writing one to myself. Of course if I received a letter I'd think: "OMG! time travel exists!" which, of course, it doesn't, but.. I'd probably tell myself not to focus on a goal, but rather pay attention to the path. Next would be to recognize serendipity in the sense it was originally intended - to have the sagacity to recognize and opportunity and act on it. Listen more and finally become more well-rounded - to have more range. In the end my life has played out very differently than I expected and has been much more interesting.
Quarantine or not, many of us will have a bit more time to reflect. Writing a letter to your teenage self might be a good way to spend some of it.
