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.
你好!你知道吗?我就像你的影子一样,在你身边,我就是你,你就是我。今天我要写信告诉你,你的\'不足和优点,让你改正这些坏毛病。
你有许多优点,比如你会认真完成老师布置的作业并及时订正,上课一边听讲一边做笔记。生活方面也不落后,会理好自己的东西,做到又快又好……这些都是你的优点,还有好多我就不一一介绍了。总之,你是个各项比较优秀的女孩子,会认真做好每一件事。
当然还有缺点。你还记得吗?上次你上课正忙着做笔记,结果老师突然叫你起来回答她提出的问题,你顿时傻了,站在座位旁一动不动,一言不发。过了一会儿,老师叫了别的同学,你就这样傻乎乎地站了一节课,笔记也没写完,不知道在想啥。这件事就体现出你虽然听了也做了笔记,可你就是不爱发言,光听不说,老师怎么知道你听进去了,还是没听进去呢?除了上课发言不积极,有时还和同学们闹了一些小矛盾,和同学吵起来可是行不通的,最后还是要解决问题的。你下次再遇到这样的情况,一定要自己主动去和她道歉,不然你们怎么把感情磨合呢?这些问题,我都说完了,接下来就是你应该如何改了。
对于我刚刚举出的不足,你也许应该也知道如何去改正你的坏毛病了吧?第一,要上课多举手发表自己的见解,说错了也没关系,改正就好。第二,要和同学们团结友爱,如果有矛盾就得道歉。我希望你能改正不足,优点也要发扬下去,加油!你能行的!
你一出生,就跌入了爱河。爸爸妈妈疼着你,哥哥护着你。好吃的给你吃,好穿的给你穿好玩的给你玩。
总之,什么好东西都给你买。比如:你小时候妈妈给你买最好的奶瓶,爸爸给你从香港买回来的玩具,哥哥给你买甜甜的棒棒糖,可你就是不知道该怎么报答他们。像不懂事的.你在墙上乱画,黑一块、白一块,像个大花脸。在爸爸的卧室左翻翻右翻翻,差点把天翻过来,搞得爸爸不知所措。你把哥哥的书藏起来,让哥哥把上学的时间浪费了。
你做的错事多的不能再多了,可你改了吗?你要有不二过的精神——不再犯同样的错误。嘻嘻……我告诉你一个报答他们的好办法——好好学习,提高成绩,提高道德修养才是唯一的办法。赶快行动吧!bey,别辜负我的希望哦!
四年级:王琼
你看到这封来信时,一定很惊讶吧,其实我不知道我为什么要给你写信,但我觉得,有一些事,想要告诉你。
未来的我,希望你做好你自己,你是那个有小秘密的你,是那个沉溺音乐的你,是那个有点小心眼的你。无论如何,我想让你做好自己,不去管别人的议论纷纷,当你遇到真正的坏人时,不要难过,就应该浑身带刺的回击他,但是不要忘记矜持的抱歉:“对不起,可是我要保护好我自己。”希望你在大风大浪里不忘初心,也不要忘记帮助过你的人,怀着感恩的心面对生活,希望你可以找到夏天的枫叶,赤道的雪花,笑着面对整个世界还有磨难。希望你永远不要长大,永远用童心面对世界,希望你时常可以开怀大笑,可以丢却烦恼,相信世界里总有一个地方,让你像马一般随处而栖。
当你伤心的时候,请不要哭泣,多想一想身边的人对你多好,大不了去睡一觉,醒来后一切都会好,希望你可以拥有高跟鞋的骄傲,也有平底鞋的安心,愿你走出半生,归来仍是少年。
希望你可以在春天聆听到春风的狂想曲,在夏天看到风带来的.雨点儿,在秋天品尝落叶的甜美滋味,在冬天开心的拾起晶莹的雪花,可以到四季的美丽风景。希望你可以在人生的白纸上画上花朵,做好世界给予的测试题,骄傲的时候不要忘记谦虚这个好伙伴,守护好自己的梦想,永远不要放弃自己的梦想。希望你不要变成自己讨厌的人,活成自己想要的生活,希望你累的时候可以靠着树休息一下然后继续出发,希望你变成想要的模样,你若盛开,蝴蝶自来。相信你的希望会有一天实现,不要顾及别人的舆论是非,坚持自己原本走的路。当坏心情迎面而来,希望你能够打开窗户呼吸晨露,也可以打开心门找好友发泄,最希望你痛痛快快的哭一场,然后擦去眼泪,微笑。
希望你将所见所闻的美好时光凝结于心,化作晶莹的水晶,愿你像天空的一片浮云,悠然自得或寂寥无奈,在钢铁森林中自信的大踏步向前走,无所畏惧。现在我在想,我是不是将以后看得太重了,所谓的以后又将会牵绊到你的什么,我不知道,也许在未来的你,会告诉我答案,是么?
祝:岁月静好,一生无忧曾经的你20**年6月。
我总是在想,世界上为什么会有人这种生物呢?我想了很久很久,但没有答案。于是我又想,人这一生需要干什么呢?还是没有答案。于是我就去问妈妈,妈妈告诉我:“人啊,要好好学习,造福人类。妈妈又说你要认真学习,不要像爸爸妈妈没有知识,没有学问。”听着听着,我陷入了沉思:是啊,妈妈说的对,我现在读的书都是那些作家用所学的知识创作的数学公式,也是数学家经过一次次的\'失败,研究出来的。
说到知识与学习,我又想到妈妈常常对我说的话:“孩子,你必须要好好学习,你应该知道那些山区里的孩子想读书都读不了的事吧。可你呢,整天抱着手机玩玩游戏,看电视喊你,你都听不见,你整天说你要考什么清华北大,可是你用实际行动表达出来了吗?要想考上好大学,不仅要爸爸妈妈帮忙,还得要你自己好好学习呀。”听到了吗,陈欣然?这是***妈对你的期望。
还记得上次吗?老师说你成绩下降了,告诉妈妈了,回家后妈妈把你说了一顿,看到了吗,陈欣然?这是老师对你成绩下降的失望。
还有一次,你数学考了85分,同学们都在问:“陈欣然,你这次怎么考得这么少哇?是不是老师批错了?”听见了吗,陈欣然?这是同学们对你考这么少分的惊讶。
这些事情都能说明你成绩下降了,因此,你现在要好好学习,不辜负妈妈、老师以及同学对你的期望。
你好!我和你是同一个人,每天和你一起上学,一起玩耍,与你一同走过了十几个春秋。可是你有一些小毛病,应该改改了,免得影响你的前程。
你现在最大的\'毛病就是太粗心了,你一定要改掉它,不管付出多少心血。记得有一次,你写作业时由于你的马虎,把一句话重复写了三遍,自己没发现,写完作业也不检查,直接放到书包里去写别的作业了。第二天,作业本发下来,我还以为能得优呢,可谁知老师用红笔写了:要细心,不能马虎,写完作业要多检查几遍!后面还写了一个良字。顿时,你脸上的笑容不见了,露出了一种后悔为什么当初写作业时不认真呢?为了这件事,你在一个星期中每次写作业时都很认真,每次都得优,可一个星期后,你的旧病再次复发。考数学时,眼睛好象花了一样,把376看成367,把有小数点的看成没小数点;把+号看成—号,结果考了80多分。语文也同样,把今写成令,把太写成大。闹了许多笑话,那几次测验的成绩都不理想。
你还经常被父母责骂,我也无能为力,你一定要改掉这些毛病。
我知道todayisyourbirthday!(今天是你的生日)。
我祝你happybirthdaytoyou!(生日快乐),好好学习,天天向上!
