Question

15．In 2002，I wrote a letter for my future self with instructions not to open until my birthday in 2014．It is 2014 now．Yesterday was my birthday and I opened 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 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 settle 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．I 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．
  I find it cool how the dreams of a young girl can become a grown woman's reality（现实）．

分析 2002年我为将来的自己写了一封信，而且明确说明一定到2014年我生日的时候才能打开，现在是2014年，昨天是我的生日，我打开它．信里这样写道：
亲爱的Sherri：
你读这封信的时候已经30岁了．18岁的我有很多的关于未来的希望和梦想．我希望你已经去过了所有你想去的地方，看过了所以你感兴趣的事，不管是在加拿大还是国外．也许现在你已经在法国的某处安顿下来，做着生物学（遗传学）领域的研究工作．我希望你已经嫁给了你的梦中情人．我的梦中情人叫Gwynn，你应该有了两个自己的孩子：一个男孩一个女孩．
如果一切安好，那现在的你会和Gwynn还有两个孩子，会一起生活在法国某个小镇上的一个大房子里．你正在绘画方面做研究，也可能是做遗传学研究．Gwynn会是计算机程序员，你们一切安好．
不过就算生活没有按你的计划进行，我也祝你拥有世上所有的爱、幸福和快乐．
爱你的18岁的Sherri．
读这封信的时候我诧异不已．那么多我想要的都已经实现了：
我真的去过加拿大很多地方旅行，我去过英国、澳大利亚和埃及．我在法国的一个大城市住了快四年，我们住在郊区的大房子里（跟梦想很接近了）；我是大学的一位艺术教师，我有两个可爱的孩子．
但并不是所有的一切都像我希望的那样．我嫁给了一个名叫Tom Rees的男人，他是一位优秀的艺术家．我们一切安好．
一个年轻女孩的梦想能成为一个成年妇女的现实，这感觉真好．
