The Value Provided To The World

Dear Time Capsule Committee,

I believe that my object should be in this time capsule. My object is a great item to preserve the history of humankind. It is a small glass box that has pink flowers inside. This is a great thing to represent human life. The flowers themselves can say a lot about our lives on earth. Flowers showcase the beauty of life. The flowers will represent the beautiful life we once lived on planet earth. Flowers are everywhere, in the gardens, in stores, on your coffee table. Flowers have been in our lives for over 125 million years ago. Why get rid of them now? These flowers are plastic but they will be preserved for a long time. As I said, the flowers are in a glass box. And all our lives we have used glass to display beautiful object, it is a way to appreciate art. This glass box is very important to me because it was once my grandmothers’. I remember when I was little, I always wanted to play with it and one day it just disappeared. Several years later, my grandma was moving into a retirement home. As I was helping her pack, I found the glass box among all of her things. I showed it to her and she told me how she had forgotten all about it but was saving it for me. This box means so much to me, I can feel my grandma’s presence anytime I see it and I would hate for it to no longer be seen.

Thanks,

Blanca Salas
