The things that made Garner special as per her younger self were listed as "1. Actress, 2. Cat Owner, 3. Clown, 4. Ice Cream Maker, 5. Peanut Butter Eater, 6. Piano Player, 7. Poet, 8. Reader, 9. Sailor, 10. Skater, 11. Swimmer, 12. Violinist and 13. Writer."

And a cute picture of Garner from her childhood was also pasted on the paper, in which she can be seen wearing a yellow jumpsuit over a red checkered shirt.

This appeared to be a school activity done by Garner as it was graded A with a red pen over the paper.


In the caption, Garner revealed the note was saved by her mother in her closet.

"From Mom’s closet in West Virginia. Number three kind of nails it," she captioned.

Fans rushed into the comment section, gushing over the list, calling it "so cute!"

One fan wrote, Oh my goodness I love this! That is also the most adorable photo!

Another wrote that "Little Jen was wise!!!" while others claimed, "The list of what makes you special even goes on and on and on and on (and on and on) from there."

A fourth fan expressed his disbelief at writing “actress” at number one, referring to her successful acting career, "Can’t believe you wrote actress for number one! How great is that??" they wrote.
