It wasn't until we moved into our new home in 2006 that I found it again. It was addressed to me with explicit instructions not to open until my birthday 2005. It was now 2006 so I decided to open it. This is what it said:
Dear Sherri
By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had so many hopes and dreams about where you'd be, what you'd be doing and with whom you'd spend your life with.
Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and overseas, and maybe even settled down somewhere in Australia doing some research in the field of biology (genetics.
I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. He is originally from South Africa (another place I wish to visit.
You'll probably have two children of your own – a girl(Michaela Anne and a boy (name yet to be decided.
If everything goes according to plan you'll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing alright for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world and don't settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve.
Live long, be happy and live life to it's fullest.
Love Sherri "18″
When I read this for the first time since writing it I was floored. Even now having dug this up again another 4 years later I still can't help but think this is really cool.
So much of what I wanted for myself has materialized.
I did travel to a few more places in Canada although I haven't seen everything I'd like to.I did marry the man of my dreams and yes he still is my one and only.I've traveled to the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I lived in Australia for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb, in a major city (close enough. I had a career in Biology in the field of genetics for 10 years.I have two lovely kids – both boys (names now decided.
I have not one dog but two dogs. Both yellow labs from Australia.Gwynn is a computer programmer. We are doing okay for ourselves.
After writing this I quickly forgot about what I had put in here actually. The things that materialized were all met with quite a bit of resistance (all internal but I suppose these were things that I really did want. Having never strayed too far from home overseas travel was a huge deal. Having never been away from my family moving to Australia for several years was an incredibly huge decision.
I find it fascinating how the dreams of a young and naive little girl can become a grown woman's reality.
I'm curious if you guys have ever written anything to your future self and how it stacks up to your current reality. If you haven't, will you join me in writing a letter now to yourself in say 10 years from now? It's an interesting little experiment.
在朦胧的夜色中,我望着天空,星星顽皮地冲着我眨眼睛。刹那间,一个美丽的小天使出现在我的眼前,我走进了时空隧道,飞到了未来的世界!
哇!未来的世界好美啊!它真是个高科技的世界。那儿,到处是绿油油的花草,干净、整洁、一尘不染,有毒气体零排放。我真想看看未来的学校。小天使魔棒一挥,我们就来到了未来的学校。走进校门,学校的变化真大啊!礼堂的设计最为先进,按一下礼堂的调控器上的蓝色按钮,礼堂立刻就变成了游泳池。按一下白色的按钮,礼堂立刻就变成溜冰场。真神奇!我们再到教室看看,教室的设备令我不为惊叹!现在老师正在讲《桂林山水》这一课,魄的墙壁上浮现出了许多桂林山水的照片,我们如临其境。
同学们也不用背着那沉甸甸的书包,因为课桌上有电子书,什么书都有,比十个书柜的书还多。老师写在黑板上的字会显现在同学们的课桌上,同学们做的答案也会映在黑板上,那些不敢举手的同学就可以将自己的答案告诉大家了。同学们上课就跟做游戏一样,嘻嘻哈哈的,老师脸带微笑,和蔼可亲!作业也不多,大多数作业是阅读。垃圾只需放在“变废为宝”的机器上,垃圾就会变成宝贝。
未来的学校真漂亮,你喜欢吗?我以后要好好学习!把未来的世界打扮得更美丽!
在我的梦中,未来的学校现在的学校可大不相同。我们一起去参观一下吧!
到了学校,绿树成荫,鲜花盛开,鸟语花香,像个小公园。可是,却不见教学楼的影子。原来教学楼在地下呢!
站在“小公园”中央,一按遥控器,自动升降机会把你带到地下教学楼。在这样的教学楼里上课,夏天感到特别凉爽。冬天感到很温暖。因为教室里的墙是根据季节变色的。冬天变成温暖的黄色,夏天会变成清凉的绿色。
教学楼的前面是操场,一个操场就能容纳一百个班。
在操场西边,有一个体育场,里面有举重、跳高、跳远等运动项目。
在老师的办公楼,最神奇的要数桌子了。老师上完一节课或看完书眼睛累了,桌面马上变成绿色,让老师多看看桌面,休息一下眼睛。当老师改作业的时候,只需要把卷子在桌子上一扣,卷子马上就有了成绩。
办公楼最南边是舞蹈室,舞蹈室的墙会根据演员的舞蹈发出相应的音乐……
怎么样,未来的学校不错吧!
转眼间,50年就到了,未来的学校是怎样的。你们想知道吗?那我就告诉你吧!未来的学校是这样的:
在一个美丽富饶的城市——潮州,有一所闪烁着金色未来的名牌学校——湘桥区实验学校。这所全市一流的学校,教学设备都是现代化的,就连学生的学习用品等也是现代化的,全都是用高科技制造的。比如说:桌子,桌子就是像一台电脑,安装了许多功能,学生写字或做作业不用笔来写,而是对桌子说一声,我要写字,桌面就会变成一个液晶显示屏,还有一支像笔一样的小木棒,你只要在液晶显示屏里写出你要写的字,它就会显示在屏幕上。如果你还要打印作文或其它的文章,你只要按一下多功能键,说我要打印材料,桌子就变成了打印机,你装好纸就可以打印了,你说神不神奇?
这所学校有100多米高,学生上课或下课都是坐电梯,这里的老师都是智能型机器人,而且个个都是神奇的老师,无论是哪国的文化样样都精通。在这所学校里,并不是用分数来衡量学生学习好或坏,而是用鼓励性评语来评价学生,所以,在这所学校学习的学生都非常轻松,也就是说学生人人都可以成为天才、成为作家、成为……
未来的这所学校还是一个电子厂呢!学生可以在这座电子厂里学到非常多在外面学不到的技术,人人都可以自己动手做自己想要的东西,自己的学习用品。如:电子美术作品、生物标本、……在电子厂里可以用你聪明的大脑,发挥你的聪明才智,创造出更多丰富多彩的作品。在这所学校里,学校的各门学科都是全开放的,学生想学习哪国语言,就可以自由选择,也可以用多功能学习电脑查找各种学习资料,并且有机会还会到月球上去考查呢!转眼间,50年后的学校是多么美呀!,如果我还是一个小孩,我肯定会到这所未来的学校去读书。
