Students finally answer questions they left for future selves 7 years ago and everyone's saying the same thing

People were taken aback after watching the emotional clip from students at McCallie School

A group of students who asked their future selves a bunch of questions when they were in sixth grade have finally sat down to answer them, seven years on.

Back in 2018, students from McCallie all-boys boarding school in Tennessee were recorded asking themselves questions for the future.

After seven years at the school, the boys - now 18 years old and graduating as seniors - were then filmed watching their younger selves and answering the questions.

And spoiler - it's emotional.

Canon Brock, Will Turrell, Nkenge Ashford, Christian Lawhorn and Ward Richey all appeared in the video, which was shared on the school's YouTube channel this week.

Questions included: 'Is your favourite hobby still solving your Rubik's Cube?', 'Is your favourite food still Mexican?' and 'Is your favourite sport still basketball?'

The boys also asked themselves about the 'biggest life lessons' they'd learned and what life advice they would have given their younger selves.

They also spoke about their time at the school, and what they had taken away from their experiences.

"Be kind to everyone, every time you can," said Will.

"You don't get another chance to take things back or do things differently, so try to do it in the best way you can."

Meanwhile, Christian said: "Always be kind to others and always love others, treat your neighbour as you would yourself."

And Canon added: "The biggest thing I'll take from McCallie is that reaching out, to people, is probably the most important step you can take to building friendships, building a career, building all sorts of things in life."

Everyone was saying the same thing after watching the emotional clip, with many admitting it had reduced them to tears.

One person commented: "This one got my heart strings."

While another added: "I would cry for days if I had something like this."

And a third said: "Incredible video. I cried. God bless them!"

Others said they would be recreating the video with their own kids, while some said that 'every school should do this'.

"This dope, definitely doing this for my future kids," said one.

While another added: "My 7th grade teacher made us write letters to ourselves. He would mail it to us after we graduated high school. I was shocked to get the mail as I totally forgot about it."

And a third added: "I will be doing this with my son... he’s finishing the 6th grade."
