My Bag

Many things are important to me, and some of the things that I think are the most meaningful and important to me, I put in my "bag". By seeing the things that I put in my bag, you can tell a lot about me.

The first thing I put in my bag was a book, "Crocodile Tears" by Anthony Horowitz. I love reading books (especially fiction) and when I thought What should I put in my bag?, a book was the first thing I thought of.

The Travel Australia book represents my love for travel. I have always been fortunate enough to go on many holidays to many places around the world, and since I was small, I have grown to love travel and seeing culture and diversity of different places around the world.

Obviously, I couldn't fit a piano in my picture (But now that I think of it, maybe I could have) so I chose my Vic Firth Drumming Practice Pad as my third item for my bag. I chose the practice pad because I think that music is one of the best things in the world. I like learning about music, and already know how to play one instrument (piano), and a whole section of instruments (the percussion section).

iPod Touch. Such a revolutionary device. But everyone carries one. Why would I chose it for my bag? My iPod does not only mean iPod alone but I chose it to represent all electronics. My electronic devices are important to me because they bring fun for everyone. When I want to do something fun for a short length of time, I can count on my electronic devices to bring some excitement and fun. Electronic devices do not replace outdoor activities, but they are something to turn to when you are just looking to do something that can keep you engaged.

On to number five. You may have noticed blocks in the picture. No, I am not a baby and no, I do not still play with blocks. (For your information, those are my brother's!) The blocks signify creation because you can create many things with blocks. These blocks signify my interest in creating and designing things. Which is why I like the games Sim City, and Age Of Empires.

I chose my swimming medal as my sixth item for my bag. I love to go swimming, anytime, or anyplace. I love the water, and I love the thrill of swimming in races. Although I don't have much stamina, I am always ready to go for a swim, and always jump in the water happily. But maybe not when the water's freezing cold.

Down to number seven. My seventh item is my notebook. My notebook shows my love for writing. I love making up stories and writing them down and I can always think of great ideas for different types of stories. My notebook is a whiteboard for all ideas.

Monopoly is the eighth item in my bag. I chose Monopoly because it is my favorite board game. I like Life, Monopoly, Chess, and many other board games. Parcheesi, anyone?

My last item in my bag is my statue of Ganesh, a Hindu God. I chose Ganesh because Ganesh defines my religion and my religion defines who I am in many ways. My religion is very important to me and I try to follow it the best I can. My religion is very important to me, so I chose the statue as the last item in my bag.

All nine items that I have chosen for my bag show not all, but a little bit of what kind of person I am and what kind of personality I have. I hope that now, you understand a little bit more about me and know about the nine things that are the most special to me in my life.
