Cherished Possessions

1. What was your most cherished possession when you were a child? Why?
It was likely my Lego. I would play with it for hours, always building complex buildings and vehicles.

2. What was your most cherished possession when you were a teenager? Why?
As a teenager I treasured my music collection most. My Collective Soul CD’s were always a great comfort and inspiration.

3. Do you still have these possessions now? Why or why not?
I still have both my Lego and my music. The lego is stored in my parents’ basement, and my music is always with me at whatever home I may be living.

4. What is your most cherished possession now? How has the type of this item changed from the kinds of things you cherished when you were younger?
My laptop would have to be my most cherished possession now, because of the ability to communicate with my dear friends it has allowed me to have. Physical possessions have become less and less important to me as I have grown up. I find that giving away things that I don’t need, I feel as though my life is more full.

5. Describe your experience(s) with this saying: “One man’s trash is another’s treasure.”
I have found this expression to be true quite often. Everyone has different values for everything. For instance, sports cards don’t mean anything to me, but some are willing to spend thousands of dollars on them.
