Today in my language arts class we presented our "shoe box get to know you". Our assignment was bringing in three or more things specifically about our past, present, and future. There were a lot of interesting things shown, and I think mine were probably pretty average comparably speaking, but I'm going to share them anyway.
1) Past: My Tamogotchi. Chances are, if your my age, you had one in fourth or fifth grade. They were THE thing to have. Seriously, bigger than Silly Bandz if you can believe that. Mine is pink with a rainbow pattern on the back, and though it is missing the star on the antena, it still works. What is funny is the reaction it got when I pulled it out as the first item to show the class. I think everyone in the room withdrew breath, because they could not believe they had forgotten about their beloved Tamogotchi's. Blast from the past right!?
2) Present: My EFY wrist band. EFY last July made a much bigger impact on me than I every could have imagined. I had heard great things going in, but it really was an amazing experience, spiritual and otherwise. I will carry the things I learned there through the rest of my life. Lucky for me, we have facebook so I can carry the people with me too. Whenever the kid behind me won't stop swearing, or the girl at the front of the classroom has decided to wear those barely there shorts again I can remember how important EFY was to me, and realize that even though it's is obviously really common among students, I don't need to/want to take part.
3) Present/future: My capo. Whether you pronounce it Cay-Po or Cap-O it is definitely useful. Though I would have loved to bring in my actual guitar, I figured my capo would suffice for today. There actually were a lot of kids who brought in picks to show that they also play the guitar. My guitar playing is both a part of my present and my future. Oh! I just remembered. I'm currently learning a new song called "Advice" by Christina Grimmie, and I loved the lyrics enough to share some of them on my blog. (I actually share a lot of stuff on my blog, so that's not huge news, but still)
"Don’t let go of good times
And let the bad ones know you’ll feel fine
And wear your heart out on your sleeve
Love is all, love is all you need
Don’t be rushed
Cause hurrying causes mistakes
And make sure to give more than take
And know when you must take it slower"
