     In 1998, I wrote a letter for my future self with instructions not to open until my birthday 2010. It
was now 2011, 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 many hopes and dreams about you.
Right now I hope you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and
abroad, maybe you have even settled (定居) down somewhere in France, and maybe you are working
in the field of art. I hope you're married to Gwynn -- the man of your dreams. You'll probably have two
children - a girl and a boy.
     If everything goes okay, you'll be living in France in a big house in a small town with Gwynn and
your two children. You are doing research in painting. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you
will be doing all right for yourselves.
     However, if things don't go according to plan, I wish you love, happiness and joy.
                                                                                                                                       Love,
                                                                                                                               Sherri "18"
      When I read this, I was surprised. So much of what I wanted has come true.
       I did travel to a few more places in Canada. I've traveled to the UK, Australia and Egypt. 3I have
been living in France for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb (郊区), in a major city. I am an
art teacher in a university. I have two lovely kids.
     But not everything went as what I hoped. I married a man named Tom Rees, and he is an excellent
artist. We are doing all right for ourselves.
    4I find it cool how the dreams of a young girl can become a grown woman's reality (现实).
