To my self
I don’t know which cluster you choose but I know that you choose the correct job for your self and I see you select what you like if you are a doctor I am so proud of you, however, if you decide to be an engineering I think you are doing well. After what we saw with coronavirus every thinks change even the way that I am looking to the world. Which makes me be a doctor to help people. Just be yourself and be happy.
Nice Sarah. I hope you do become a doctor in the near future. 17/20

Dear future self,

I am writing this letter in the year 2020. So far, everyone’s expectations for this year has been shattered. Chaos has occurred  and a contagious virus has spread around the world. Leaving us stuck in our homes for months. Everyday becomes harder and harder for an extrovert like myself. I cant see my friends, I can’t go out and I can’t have fun. This is a very difficult situation to be put in and I hope you never experience this again. Trying to have fun and managing all the school work is a difficult task. Furthermore, people can’t go out without wearing a mask or gloves. I used to go out to visit my grandpa, thats the only place I went to. The reason behind this is because I want to see the huge smile on his face, and create great memories together. (This is soo beautiful, I hope you carry on doing this)

I hope you are living your best life and you’re working to achieve your goals. (well expressed Maryam)

This is Dana Yousif I’ve really missed you and I’ve missed the way we go to school chat, play, or even doing nothing and just watching students and teachers walking. But, I totally believe that this situation would change us to the better and get us to know how to save and not spend our money and time on unvalued stuff and stuff that we really don’t need. Moreover, I’ll be valuing the time we are spending together and every happy moment we were there with each other. And here we go I’ve promise not to miss any tour or trips I will give every thing its value and more.

Dear teacher,
I've missed the school and studying in the school. Moreover, I've missed my friends too much, we've been too long without sitting, chatting and walking together around the school. Furthermore, coronavirus have made us apart from each other as friends, families, it has changed many  many things in our life. Also, it have been showing us the truth of many people and also it have been changed us too patience people for everything.
I hope we've going back to school because I've missed the school a lot. (Im sure schools will be back to normal soon) 15/20

Hi my lovely teachers, I want to tell you that I a missing you a lot, and I am missing the beautiful moments that we were spending it together, I can’t wait more than the time that I waited from months. I missed the moments when you were teaching us, and if a girl interrupted you, then you will become angry, but in your heart it is the opposite. In addition, I a missing our class when it was so quite or noisy. I wish that this virus will deplete this year to have the chance to see you again. Thank you for reading my letter.
Hoor, I wish we could all see each other before the school year ended too, but we will see each other again in the new year, Insha Allah

Dear future me,

How have you been? It seems like you haven’t written me a letter in a while now so... I’m reaching out. If you remember, I am in the version living in the era of the being of the pandemic. This year, 2020, has been straight out of a dystopian (love the comparison)movie. Each month is a new tape. Each tape worse than the one before it. But I hope you are reading this letter and laughing your organs out because it was all just a moment in life that will end as fast as it came. I hope you are having vague, faded memories of the fear and more vivid ones of the happy clips in this movie. (remember that this is all gonna be a part of history in the near future that you were apart of)

Please send me a letter as soon as you can, I’ve been dying to hear more from you. (beautiful read )

20/20

With love,

A memory of the past

Dear future self,
It’s currently Wednesday, June 3, 2020. We are going through a rough time with Corona virus and racism. Corona is affecting the world globally so because of it we couldn’t get out of the house much, we had curfews, and we couldn’t go to school so we have distant learning. However, we are hopefully getting close to find a cure to this virus and hopefully soon this pandemic will end.
(Beautiful piece of writing, Fatima)

Dear future Elham,

I hope you’re doing so well and still achieving your dreams, I’m you from the past, specifically in the year of 2020 when probably everything happened since the day I was born and I’m going to talk to you about all the things I’m going through these days, you probably know about what’s happening, maybe they’re including 2020 in the future kids curriculum, since we’re living in a messed up situation lately. I’m attending my online classes at the moment trying to gain knowledge and not lose myself during this pandemic, we can’t go out because of the coronavirus, which is a contagious virus that is spread all over the globe. If you’re going to ask about feeling bad because I can’t go out, I don’t really care about that part, cause I’m not really into going out a lot, I do feel bored a lot but I’m trying my best not to. I miss a lot of restaurants and that is actually the most depressing part of this lockdown, we both know we love food so much, I really hope you don’t face something like that in the future.
I hope you get to go out soon and dine at your favorite restaurants.
19/20

Love, Elham

Dear Future Me,

Hi, how are you doing? I hope you are doing better than me right now.

It’s 2020.There is a virus that is taking over the world and nothing is alright. No matter how much I eat, I still feel empty inside because I know there is nothing I can do to help other than not leaving the house and praying the we as a community could move from this. I worry for my friends and family everyday.

This global pandemic showed my that I took people for granted so Future me, don’t forget to value everyone that has shown you love.

Anyways, where ever you are know, I hope you never have to experience this again. I hope you have achieved your dreams and living your life to the fullest, and you should know no matter what anyone says about you, you are beautiful, intelligence and smart.

Sincerely, 15 year old you
This was beautiful to read Ghalya.

Dear future me,

I hope you are happy wherever you are,  we are in 2020 which is known  as the most horrible year. However, I’m still hopeful that something good will happen this year. I’m 15 years old now and you’ll be 20 years old then,  a lot of things should’ve changed in your life now, and I can’t wait to know them. Never mind, 2020 has done something’s that no one ever could’ve done, people say that corona virus is such a bad thing that is full of bad effect on us, but the thing that they don’t know is that it did effect our life in a bad ways but it was a huge advantage for our earth ! People around the world stopped using factories, oceans were clear, and much more. Now this disease changed a lot in people. Some people became wiser and I’m definitely one of them. We can’t go out without a mask and a pair of gloves which is so uncomfortable. We can’t see our families and friends too. So, before a goodbye I want to say that make sure to be happy and to be yourself each and every moment. Remember that half a year was wasted sitting at home doing nothing but studying so you can  have more fun. Love you :)

To my future self,

I am writing this letter to you to say how things were in the year 2020 when the world experienced a horrible pandemic (Covid-19), schools were shut down and everyone had to stay in their houses until the virus stopped spreading (it hasn’t stopped yet). We had to stay away from our family and loved ones to avoid getting the virus. I hope that one day this will end and no more pandemics will occur in the future. And I’d like to say that you pulled through this chaotic situation with your family, and completed your education successfully. And I hope that you are doing well in your life when you read this, and for you to face everything you go through with positivity and optimism and work hard to make your dreams come true. (well written)18/20

Dear teacher,
You’ll never know how much I missed you, I missed your beautiful positive smile every morning, I missed your classes and how fun you make them, I missed everything in school and how active it makes me each day. I really hope we all could see each other in our next academic year.

Love,
Your beloved student Elham Ebrahim

Dear miss Sharlene,

I never told you how I’m grateful for you. You have helped us in many ways, because of you my english improved  so much. Thank you for making classes fun and filled with so many activities. Thank you, for making sure we understand everything we need to. Thank you being able to handle us. I’ve missed you a lot, many great memories of mine were created in the classroom we used to meet in. I made amazing friends in your classroom. All my amazing memories were created in your class. Thank you for being apart of my memory, thank you for teaching me and showing me that the English language has its own beauty. I hope we meet again one day.

Love,
Maryam Khalid Almarzooqi

Dear future self,

How are you ? How is life ? I hope you are living comfortably and happily, I hope you are in a good place in life, and I hope you have achieved your dreams . I am writing this litter for you from 2020, right now we are going through a pandemic and we are in quarantine . It feels weird right now because we are staying at home almost all the time, this will probably be the year you will remember the most because of the virus and because we are studying online . The virus has stopped us from doing many things because we can’t go out, but we are still strong and we are fighting through this together as a family . I am trying to make the most of my free time to organize my life and start new habits but instead I am kinda wasting it, well actually dramas are worth it so I am not wasting my time, BTW do you still go through emotional roller coasters when watching series or did you change ? You better not be crying over some series right now . Anyways, if you’re living a comfortable life, I hope you continue on the same path, and if you are not doing so well just remember that it’s ok to take a break sometimes, don’t stress yourself too much and don’t forget that opening up and talking to someone about your problems is not a weakness it’s a strength .

Dear future me

Hey there, how are you doing?  I hope this letter finds you doing well. I’m sure you’ve got a lot going on right now, and that’s good, just don’t lose track of what’s important, what’s worth making time for. Spend time with people you love. I want you to work hard and never give up, you can do it you’re special just believe in yourself, I want you to go to the best university and figure out what you’re going to do with your life. As you grow up you’ll  change, but I know that I’ll always want something out of myself. And don’t forget your goal ” to leave a mark in society”. I know that you’ve been through rough times, coronavirus is one of the problems that you faced , so don’t put this problem on the path to your success . Enjoy it. All of it . You’ll have enough time to do everything that you love. No regrets. You were and are and have been and always will be yourself, and that’s what matters above all.
I’m proud of you ❤️

Dear future self,

Currently we are in the year of 2020 which is known as the Corona virus year because this virus has spread around the world. In addition, this year was messed up as people say however, I felt that this year is a really grateful year because People are with their families for 24 hours and we got to know our real friends and the most important thing is that we are still studying. Unfortunately, the only disadvantage is that we are getting many projects and assignments and we are getting for about 5 quizzes a week which is making me stressed but that’s fine because they are preparing us for the university. To conclude, I really hope that my future self is in a really good place because I really worked hard in school.
