Today in Wananga we had to write a blog post about a message in a bottle. This is unfinished but I hope you enjoyed it. Oh yeah and first blog post back to school I think.
Message In A Bottle
Where has the bottle been found? Christchurch, New Zealand.
Who found it? Nolan Thach (Older Version).
Who wrote the letter? Nolan Thach (Newer Version).
Why was the letter written? To Tell Me in the Future What I Hope to Achieve.
When was it written? 13th September 2021.
What does the letter say? My Goals I Wish to Achieve.
You could write the story of the bottle. You could write a letter. You could be the person who wrote the letter, or the person who found it.
Remember to use punctuation! Add adjectives to make your writing interesting.
Introduction
So I decided to write a letter to myself in the future about what I want to achieve. I thought this was pretty boring, but I know it can bring back nostalgic memories for me when I was older. After all, my Year 7 Yearbook brings back so many memories. So I wrote this and threw it in the ocean. Apparently, that’s not littering, “man no wonder why there’s so much pollution in the ocean”. So there wasn’t a guaranteed chance that the message would come back to me when I was older, but I wasn’t willing to give up the chance of feeling a magical feeling.
62 Years Later
I am now 75 years old and was walking around the beach looking for the bottle. I’ve come here every year in hopes of finding the bottle. I’ve found 13 bottles over the years but none of them was mine. I threw them back into the sea in hope of making someone else find their bottle and get the magical feeling.
The Bottle
I saw another bottle and it washed across the sandy beach. I picked it up and opened it. No way it was my bottle. I opened it and saw the letter. It brings back so much nostalgia. It reminded me of when life was good. Here was the letter
Letter Introduction
Dear Nolan Thach
I hope you find this bottle in the future. I hope this will bring you so much nostalgia.
What is the World Like?
Is the Earth a Clean Environment
I know pollution and gases and other stuff like that was a terrible thing back in 2021. And if we didn’t do anything about it the Earth would be uninhabitable. The effects could be reversed if we did something about it, the question is, have we?
Has Mars Been Inhabited Yet?
People are talking about how they want to inhabit Mars. I wonder if they’ve landed on it and started living there. It must be very isolated without oxygen. Even though it’s further from the sun, Mars will still be destroyed so they need another game plan. I wonder if they’ve landed on another planet outside of the solar system (probably not).
What Technology is There?
Have you ever watched that movie Back to the Future 2? Where Marty travels to 2015 and there are hoverboards and flying cars. Well if we look now we don’t have any of that stuff… and it’s 2021! I wonder in even longer years we’ll have some sort of flying cars and hoverboards.
Goals I Wish to Achieve
Achieving 200wpm on Nitro Type
Some day I want to achieve 200wpm on Nitro Type.
Questions for Myself
Do I Still Play Roblox?
Roblox got boring in 2021, but I still play it. Most people I know have quit by now. But I’ve stayed loyal to Roblox since 2016.
Do I Still Play Nitro Type?
To be honest I only play that game because I’m not allowed to play video games on school days. Nitro Type is almost as addicting as a normal game, but it’s boring. I have improved my typing speed a lot this year because I don’t have homework. I wonder in the future will I get homework? Will I improve less? My goal is to achieve 200wpm one day. I wonder if I’ve achieved that.
What Job Do I Have?
People ask me what do I want to be when I’m older. To be honest I don’t know. Gaming and typing are one of my favourite hobbies. But I know for a fact I’m probably not gonna do that. Wait how do I know I’m not gonna do that. It’s probably the expectations of my parents for me to do something else that doesn’t involve playing video games for a living.
Letter Conclusion
So those are a few of the things I wish to achieve and wonder about the world. I wonder what else there is, I wonder what’ll I’ll look like.

Back to Real Life
I finished the letter in tears. I was speechless. I looked around me and saw what I had. I guess you should be grateful for what you have before your grateful for what you had.
