4 Items That Are Important To Me

I have had many possessions precious to me, but non-mount to the only thing that I have had since I was born, my baby blanket. The blanket has gone through life with me, been with me through it all. This blanket is my childhood; it means the most to me and it is the memories I couldn’t bear to hold. Though it’s a torn up piece of fabric, I could never let it

On the eve of my grandfather's funeral, as my father, my sister, and my cousin and I stood around a pile of jerseys, t-shirts, and polos that once belonged to my grandfather, we each claimed a few for ourselves. I claimed a blue and white baseball shirt that reads “Cosmos” on the front, perhaps the team name, and “Annen” on the back. Whenever I wear this shirt I get emotional, it is, besides photographs, one of the last tangible things I have of my grandfather.

I have a children's table and chairs set, painting/drawing easels, toys, books, puzzles, play dough, and various garden toys.

The first thing that you have to do before playing is to put on the equipment that protects myself from the opposing players who are trying to get the ball from me. I use this as a metaphor in a spiritual sense, in that the equipment protects from the opposing team in lacrosse; but with my spirituality, I have to be ready with the spiritual equipment to be ready to defend myself against those who may challenge my faith. Another physical thing that I carry in lacrosse is the stick. I use it to shoot the ball, cradle it and to keep the opposing team from scoring. In the novel The Things They Carried, they carried guns and ammunition to attack the enemy and protect their safe ground.

People hold on to pieces of jewelry, furniture, and other symbolic collectables that is passed through generations. These things can remind a person of a loved one that is seen as being priceless.

Choosing an artifact for the box was an easy decision. I chose to put a picture of my dog, Chocolate, because he is very important to me. He is a two year old Schnoodle (half Schnauzer half Poodle) who we rescued from the animal shelter.  It will be exciting to look back at what he looked like as a puppy.  The artifact portrays me well since I love my dog and he is a big part of my life. It shares

The pictures of the items represent interest those certain characters have. For Oakley, there are pictures of a guitar, a camera, and a journal. The guitar and the camera represent two of her hobbies and the journal represents the notebook of letters that her brother Lucas wrote her. For Carson, there are pictures of surfboards, a bicycle, and a lifesaver. The surfboards represent Carson liking to surf and the bicycle is there to represent when Oakley and he went on bikes rides. The lifesaver is there because he rescued Oakley from the strong waves. For Aunt Jo there are marine animals because she is a marine

There are many items that I have in my possession that make me feel accomplished or an item that I use just daily. There is however, some items that have absolutely no idea why I have, and continue to hold on to them. For example, I still have a karate trophy that I really don’t pride, a computer hard drive that should have been thrown away, and some empty boxes of Run Gum. It’s either I don’t want it or I don’t need it, and these three items I really should not have, but will continue to possess.

The things I carry is not as meaningful as the things that I keep safe. Physically I carry a phone and it means something for me because it’s direct contact with my friends and family with the push of a button. Not only that, but I am able to see the pictures and videos of loved ones that passed away or are so far away that I can’t see them. My phone is the quickest way for anyone to reach me at any time and it is very meaningful for me to talk to the people I love. Something that I have, but I don’t carry is a gold chain that my mother gave me. When it comes to objects, it is the most meaningful of all. The reason why it is so meaningful for me is because the backstory that went goes with it. My mom is very important to me and she raised me

My piece is titled “Luck” and my cabinet includes all different types of lucky charms from around the world, things that are culturally considered lucky, or that I consider lucky. Each piece has a memory attached to it of a certain place, culture, or event, and each piece represents luck in some way or is considered lucky by the culture it comes from. Each of the pieces I hold dear since they all have stories attached to them, things only I would know. I gathered each piece along my travels through the world and decided I wanted to incorporate them into a single piece. They all look odd together, but understanding the overall theme of luck connects them.

The first thing that I got was the football and baseball cards. I finally got my dad respect for them after he saw that I had all of mine in a binder in plastic holders were they had their own very slots. Unlike his where they were in a trash bag getting ruined and losing their value. The day I got them, I put them in my binder. There was at least 200 to 300 cards maybe, more than that. I think maybe that is why he gave them to me so maybe one day they might be worth something. Every Christmas my cousins, uncles, and grandma gave me cards when I was little so yes I kept all of those. One of my cousins was the same age as I was so we would always have a competition to see who had the most cards and the best player at the end of the week of

On my board there is an imperfect heart which is a symbol of the amazing art of Maya Geofman and how she has had such an influence on the way artists around the world look at art that is not ordinary or traditional. Maya creates her art with bold and vibrant colors and meanings. She has influenced not only Israel but the USA, Canada, Germany, France and many more countries. To her this is not only a hobby but a way of life. There are also Band-Aids on my board which is a symbol of Dede’s art because is most famous

The first value to my family, is football and softball. Why football and softball is because my dad and I have different NFL teams. I’m a Packer fan and my dad is a 49ers fan. We like to have a fight about who’s team is better and who is not. I say my team is better and my dad said his team is better. Softball is a value because my dad and I play a lot of it and I’m on a team to. I play catcher when we play at my great aunts house. My favorite part about softball is because I can knock people out and I will not get in trouble.

Richard Rogers’ song “Favorite Things” talks about how the narrator’s favorite things make them feel better when times aren’t the best. People often have a memento from childhood that they keep throughout their life, such as a stuffed animal or a tea set. These possessions represent a memory or event from one’s life -whether it be from early on or from later in life- which in turn remind them of the feelings from the times they received it. These tokens from their early life often mean the world to them, and this is an accurate description of how I feel about my “Blankie.” My blanket is a source of comfort, every small imperfection has a memory behind it, and these impressions make the blanket unique to my life and my experiences. While most of the details that reside on my blanket are small and often remain unnoticed, each one makes it more important to me.
