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.
不知妈妈又是从哪张可恶报纸上看到,说吃枸杞芽对视力有帮助。于是家里又立即以迅雷不及掩耳之势掀起了一阵“枸杞热”。
这东西要是什么一般菜嘛倒也没什么,可是那苦劲简直和黄连一模一样;这东西要是可以放点糖嘛倒也没什么,可是妈妈却说不加糖效果才好;这东西要是偶尔吃一次嘛倒也没什么,可是妈妈又说了,要像吃药一样日日吃,月月吃,年年吃!
早上一碗枸杞芽面,中午一碗枸杞芽汤,晚上一碗炒枸杞芽,我越吃越恶心,一见到枸杞芽,就想上去把它踩个稀巴烂。
今天,妈妈又陪我吃枸杞芽了,而且吃得比我还多,看着她那吃得津津有味样子,我忍不住问:“你怎么这么爱这东西?”妈妈拧着眉毛,使劲咽下一口,然后猛扒了一口饭说:“我才不爱吃呢!”我更加不解了,忙问:“你不爱吃,还吃得这么带劲?”“只不过怕我不以身作则,你要提意见而已。”妈妈信口说道。
突然,她好像意识到了什么似,闭上了嘴,良久才说:“吃枸杞芽好处很多,这点苦算什么,我才不怕呢”!说完她又夹起一大筷枸杞芽塞进嘴里,这时她眉毛没有皱,脸上甚至还露出丝丝笑容,仿佛在品尝人间最美味食物。我愣住了,心里“咯噔”了一下,随即便什么都明白了。
我夹起一大筷枸杞芽,咀嚼着,品尝着这苦苦味道,这母爱味道。
亲爱的黛儿:
你好!
我是陈柯伊,来自浙江省青田县塔山小学五(1)班的一名学生,在这之前,我们远隔千里,素不相识,但因学校举办”手拉手活动教我们在无形之中拉拢了,但是在了一起,不过我十分
自我介绍一下,我的眼睛算不上大,但是要我眨的一下,一个鬼点子很快就会冒出来,但是要有什么令我生气的是让眼睛立刻就会喷出火来
我的性格很外向,十分开朗,时不时开一个玩笑逗乐你呢,就像小鸟一样飞出教室里边的同学玩耍,但我脾气不好,有时会不小心把别人惹生气。
我的特长是美术,我喜欢边听音乐边画画,我在现场绘画大赛的一等奖,我画的是一个有着红色的眼睛,长着栗色头发的小女孩,她手提着红色的提包,身着浅蓝色的碎花裙,多么可爱!她好像是要出门了,一只只蝴蝶都在为他跳着一支舞,不成她是要去参加选美大赛,我不仅爱画漫画,还爱画水彩,最爱画夜空。那一颗颗星星组成了一条银河,美轮美奂。瞧!天狼星是多么亮,北斗七星多么像一个小勺子呀,那12星座也是那么形象。
我再次向你发出邀请,做个朋友吧!不知你是否答应,不过我十分期待你的回信。
祝你:
天天开心!

你好!
我虽然和你素不相识,但我们班的陈老师与你们的张老师是相交多年的好友,我相信在此之后我们也能成为互诉衷肠的伙伴。
在我们学校,有很多优秀的教师呢!就拿我们的陈老师来说,她的每一堂课都会让每个同学觉得听君一席话,胜读十年书。她布置的作业时多时少,可每次都恰到好处,并一针见血地点评每一个同学的作业。我说了这么多,可是不知你们张老师是如何布置作业的?
陈老师的教学方式也十分独特,她在教有些课文时,有一个高招,我说给你听听吧!她要让我们明白聪明只是次要的,勤奋好学才是真理。她便贴了一张肖复兴的《聪明只是一张漂亮的糖纸》,大家纷纷前去观看。像我这样学习成绩处在上游的看了之后都意识到了自己的不足,更加发愤学习,争取更上一层楼。一些学习较差的同学,看了之后便从自卑的心理中挣脱出来,认为黑暗只是一时的,终究能让阳光洒在自己身上,因而奋发图强。现在你知道这妙招是什么了吧!如果你也想看一看这篇文章的话,在我手头上有一篇,可以一并发给你。
我们陈老师吊起同学们写作的'胃口,你还真别说,那才叫有一手呢!一次综合课上,她以她里的清晨我被鸟鸣声( )醒了,( )作为主题举行一个游戏活动。这下,大家的兴趣全被调动起来了,一双双小手从平面里凸起,课堂上不再只有那常见且稀少的小树成长了。玩到最后,大家才发现要写,惊呼中计!可这次,大家突飞猛进,作文水平达到一个异常的高峰。老师的那篇日记稍做修改,参加全国推广普通话、推行规范汉字博文评比活动,荣获二等奖,还发表在《福州日报》呢。
我们的老师不赖吧!听说张老师原先也在我们这里教学呢!不知她的妙语连珠有没有让你们佩服呢?
祝你,身体健康,学习进步!

亲爱的王绢:
你好!
我是浙江省丽水市青田县塔山实验小学五年级一班的陈安兴。在这之前,我们远隔千里,素不相识,可班上举行了“手拉手”。活动将我们系在一起,这次活动非常有意义。不仅让更多小朋友成为了亲密无间的好朋友,还让彼此之间有了相互学习的机会,真好!
我先自我介绍一下,一对水汪汪的大眼睛嵌在我方方正正的国字脸上,看起来炯炯有神,头上长满了乌黑发亮的头发,看起来就像刺猬的刺一样。
我的胆子十分的小,就连一只死去的小老鼠都能把我吓的魂飞魄散,寸步难行;我心里总会情不自禁的想:身后会不会有鬼在跟着我。因此我吓的晚上都不敢自己一个人出门。可光胆小不行,我也十分的乐观,有一句话在我的脑海中挥之不去——别人认为你失败了,不是真正的失败,当你自己觉得失败了,才是真正的失败。毕竟“失败是成功之母”,当我们遇到困难时,应该勇往直前,知难而进。
我可是班里的.溜冰高手,我把小帽子放在地上,从帽子的中间穿过去,我还把帽子摆成了一个“S”形一边滑还弯下腰把小帽子给拿起来,特技表演完后,我得到了同学们的掌声。
初次写信,介绍了一下我自己,我还买了一些书给你,就当做我们的见面礼吧!
祝你!
学习快乐

爱是世界上最纯洁,最温暖。爱是无私,爱是不朽。爱是一道光芒,它时刻照耀着我们所有人,鼓励我们前进。有一种爱,在你失败时牵动你奋斗动力,在你成功时激起你继续努力信念,在你犯错时促使你弥补过错,在你放弃时鼓励你重新振作起来。这种爱,叫父母爱。我门都在父母关爱下长大。父母爱也早已融入到日常生活点点滴滴。
那天,我在桌前作业,忽然听到熟悉脚步朝我这边走来。是爸爸吗?果然是。他走到我书桌前,只对我说了两个字,“眼睛。"“眼睛”是什么意思?哦,原来爸爸是在提醒我要保持正确坐姿,眼睛距桌面一尺啊!我连忙挺起身来,保持正确坐姿。
前几天,我感冒了,怎么也好不了。妈妈得知后,非常着急。妈妈说:“你怎么感冒得这么严重?保护不好自己身体怎么行?赶快想想办法,让身体快点好啊!”我不知道怎么才能快点康复,妈妈就与我一同想起办法来。怎么办?加厚衣服?喝药?多喝水?妈妈一连给我下达了多项“命令"。我没办法,只好把这些“任务”一一“执行”。哦,你还别说,经过这一番“忙活",我感冒真轻多了。这多亏了老妈啊!
父母爱是神圣。生活中,浸透着父母浓浓爱意事情多如繁星,绝不是一篇文章能够写完。让我们怀一颗感恩心,回报这份爱吧!
