- SOMETHING I KEEP
- SCHOOL ITEM #1: MY PHONE
- SCHOOL ITEM #2: MY BACKPACK
- MEMORY #1: MEETING HANNAH
- MEMORY #2: THE RUINED DRESS
- I keep a doll that my grandmother gave to me when I was 6. She passed away last year, and I miss her a lot. I’ve carried this doll with me everywhere: on vacations, to the hospital when I had to have my appendix removed, and to my Nana’s funeral.
- The first thing that I need in order to get through the school day is my phone. I use it for my watch because it’s digital and easier to read the time quickly. I also use it to keep in touch with my friends during the day, and my parents. I like to take pictures of my friends during lunch, too.
- The second thing that I need is my backpack. I don’t have as many textbooks anymore since we switched to textbooks online, but I still have folders, papers, pens, pencils, and paperback books to carry around. Without my backpack, I would be so disorganized and leave stuff all over the school.
- One memory that is really important to me is when I was 8, my best friend Hannah moved into the house next door. She came over to my yard and said hello, and I knew instantly that we would get along. I like to remember this because it makes me happy, and I remember the moment vividly.
- Another memory that stands out is when I ruined my mom’s new dress that she had just bought for my dad’s policeman’s ball. I blamed it on my little brother, who was 2 and I knew wouldn’t get into too much trouble. I still feel guilty about doing that because I should have just told the truth instead.
