Dear people of the future,
My name is Khanh Linh Le.
I'm 13 years old at the time this letter is written on August 27, 2013. This
letter is part of the time capsule that is supposed to be opened in the year 2033, at the Canadian International School of Vietnam.
Every weekday, I wake up
early and ride the bus to school. After coming home from school, I usually use
the laptop and check Facebook, 9Gag, and YouTube, or go to the gym to workout.
On the weekends, I usually use the laptop or play on my Kindle Fire or Wii. I
have a fraternal twin sister named Phuong Linh, and an elder brother named Duy,
whose going to college in America right now.
Most girls at my age like to
listen to One Direction, Justin Bieber or K-pop, but I prefer to listen to
Ellie Goulding and 30 Seconds to Mars. I absolutely love to read and
draw (I spend most of my time doodling in class). My favorite books are the
Harry Potter series, the Percy Jackson series, the Heroes of Olympus series,
the Hunger Games Trilogy, the Shadow and Bone trilogy, the Divergent trilogy
and the Skulduggery Pleasant series.
The world in 2013 isn't the
best place right now but it isn't the worse either. Things aren't looking to
good in Syria, with civil war still happening, and there being a recent
chemical attack that has killed hundreds of people. The 2014 Winter Olympics
will be held in Russia, but Russia has anti-gay laws. Luckily, many people are
angry with the anti-gay laws and are demanding change.
I'm hoping that the future
would be more peaceful, and not be a war-stricken dystopia. I hope that there
is no longer poverty or hunger, that gay-marriage is approved, and that
everyone has access to education and healthcare. I wonder; have you guys
colonized other planets?
I hope you've enjoyed
reading my letter. Have a wonderful future!
Sincerely,
Khanh Linh Le
