“My most treasured possession would probably be a box I have in my room that was decorated for, like, some project … in high school, but all of my friends made like an art on the outside, and inside I keep all the letters and gifts my friends and family give me over the years.”
“My most treasured possession, I would say, it would be a guitar that was gifted to me by my dad. It was gifted when I was a kid, so like I’ve always treasured it. It’s broken now, but like I’ve never given it away ’cause like I thought it was the most amazing thing for me when I was a kid ’cause I really love playing guitar. And I have many of them. So, I would always keep them away, like hanging them up because they’re just very important to me, and I love music, and I just appreciate my dad would give me one.”
“I’d say it’s a photo strip of my friends and I when we were back in high school.”
“It would probably have to be a bear that my mom has of me. It’s a small little bear with a picture of me and my mom, and it just means a lot ’cause it’s from whenever I was younger and whenever my dad was still around. So, you know, it means a lot to me.”
“My cat, because I love him, and I got him like two years ago.”
