Is it a good idea to include a paper I wrote in 7th grade on my college apps?

I wrote a paper in 7th grader that does a deep dive on paradoxes of time travel and why it is probably not possible. Would including this paper be a unique way to show I am a deep thinker or would it be silly?

Thanks

Nobody cares, least of all AOs, what you did in 7th grade. I would hope that in the ensuing 5 years you had something you wrote about that might have showcased a higher level of intellectual and emotional maturity.

They are more interested in what you are into now, as they want to know your intellectual curiosity will last another 4 years. Including a paper from 7th grade could equally be a sign that you’ve had little momentum in the following 4 years. Instead, it would may be interesting (if you are still into time travel) to know how your thoughts may have developed or how you’ve been into it for many years.

No. Just, no.
