Time Capsule Letter 2013

Dear future reader,

I'm Rafferty, and I am a 13 year old grade 8 student at the Canadian International School. You have found a time capsule that was buried in 2013 and should be opened in 2033. This is a time capsule assignment given by Mr. Vaughan and the things inside are related to ourselves or related to 2013.

Every weekday, I wake up for school, eat breakfast and take the school bus to school. We have a variety of subjects every day and we end school with two periods of literacy. I usually play basketball and sports after school and I end my day by completing my homework.

My classmates and friends mostly like listening to One Direction and Justin Bieber. I like to listen to other Pop artists such as Chris Brown and Katy Perry. I spend most of my time on the internet socializing or staying up to date on Facebook or YouTube.

Life in 2013 is very modern, people are using iphone5's, tablets, and smartphones; they are becoming more popular. Windows 8 touch screen laptops are also becoming more advanced and there was another cool gadget called "Google Glasses" which seemed really cool to me and was really futuristic.

In 100 years, I think that life would be much better because things would be more futuristic, convenient, and the economy would be better. There would be less chaos, terrorism, and global issues because those problems would be all solved. Who knows if I'll ever find out what happens or not, because I could still be alive.

I hope you've enjoyed reading my letter. Have a wonderful future!

Sincerely,

Rafferty Truong

The Time Capsule I Found In My Backyard

The Time Capsule I Found In My Backyard

Rafferty

Day 1, 2 pm: I was digging a hole in my backyard for the new tree I had bought recently until I found this large metal box sealed up with a wooden frame.  The box was usually heavy and i had to have my friends come over and help me take it out. We had left  it on the left side of my backyard and went in for some lemonade.
Day 2, 9 am: A woke up all of a sudden by a siren which was very irritating. I took a peak through the window and I saw that there were two police men at my door step. They were asking if I had been digging and I replied with a no.
Day 3, 10 am: I came back to the box with a clean towel and started to clean the dirt off of the front of the box. The next thing that caught my eye was the name written on the box, Thomas Edison, 1925. The time capsule was probably from the 1920's and that means that I was holding something very old. I opened up the box and in there a found amazing things. I found one of his first inventions a light bulb built by Edison, a movie camera, and a few photos of him and another small piece of paper which said "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 that didn't work-Thomas Edison." I loved what Thomas Edison had wrote because he showed that he had a lot perseverance and nothing is impossible to him. In there, I had also found a torn page from his diary which said, "October 23rd, 1879, I have tried ever since to improve the light bulb an I have finally succeeded yesterday. I had put a filament inside the glass bulb made of cotton thread. I only wish that my inventions would change our world and make it better."
Day 4, 12pm: I visited the museum and gave them the special belongings that once was Edison's. The museum gave credit to me by putting my name next to the artifacts. I came back home seeing the police at my front porch and this time they put handcuffs on me. It turns out my backyard was actually my neighbor's back yard and I didn't have a back yard. My neighbors were actually the Edisons and they came home for lunch finding a large hole in their backyard. I learned that Thomas Edison was a great inventor and he always had perseverance. I was sent to the police station telling all of the officers about Thomas Edison and how he was a great inventor. Two days later, I made two time capsules and each put in something inside and buried inside a small pot inside my house.

Playing basketball

My name is Rafferty and I'm from Ontario, Canada. I’m now 13 and I have lived in Vietnam for the past 9 years. I love playing sports such as basketball and soccer. I have been playing sports since I was 5 and I loved it ever since. I also love travelling to different countries and tasting new food from different cultures. Travelling is very special and distinctive to me because excitement and joy are waiting for me to have it.  

My favorite animals are dogs and hamsters because they are very cute and they both like to play around. I also really enjoy eating snacks and sweets because they’re delicious and I like to eat sugar. My favorite colour is light green because it has this colour related to nature and the world. Of all places that I could go to, I would go to England because they are many cool things to do there and many things to see.

A song called "Scary Monster and Nice Spirits"

My hobbies are reading books, watching TV, and playing sports. Some of my favorite series are “The Hunger Games”, and “Twilight.” Whenever I’m home, I’m always online, on the couch watching TV, or outside playing sports. I also like listening to Dubstep (electronic dance music) because it calms me down and it sounds really cool and it never gets old.

It's not the "End" yet...
