What is something that has sentimental value to you? No matter who you may be, we all probably have an item that has value in our personal opinion. We generally would prefer not to give it away or discard it due to our desire to cherish it, but we are often forced to depending on certain situations. Usually, this item is simply a stuffed animal, however, in my case, the item that had the most sentimental value to me was my pillow pet. For most kids, pillow pets or other stuffed animals have some sort of value or importance, and for this, it is significant to me due to the fact that I was given it on my birthday, along with it being a very unique animal that I genuinely love. To further expand on this statement, in addition to this I grew up …show more content…
You would think that it’s because they are celebrating another year of their life. Most often though, for a child like me, it was because you received gifts. When it was my seventh birthday, my mother and I went to the store to buy me a gift. When we were there, I saw the pile of pillow pets. As a young child, I could not contain my excitement. I spent a short time looking through the different animals, deciding which one to take home. After no longer than five minutes, I saw to what I thought was the most beautiful pillow pet ever, my pillow pet. That birthday was so special to me. I remember the happiness I felt throughout the rest of that day. I was turning seven and had just gotten a pillow pet. Receiving it on my birthday was the main reason it has such a great sentimental value to …show more content…
We don’t want to let go of the memories we made. They are our prized possessions and they are important to us. I had my pillow pet for almost five years. I always had it, but it started to lose its “fit” in my room. I was obviously growing up, therefore I was altering my room more and more. I then realized that it was time to say goodbye to my unique and beloved possession. I told my mom about it and she decided that it was time to give it away to a new and loving family. I went to grab it and we went to a donation box and put it in. Once I put the unicorn in there, I had felt a deep pang of sorrow and melancholy. But, I realized that it was growing up, and I had to go through with
He teaches his readers two valuable lessons that he learned through his experience of dumpster diving; take only what you can use, and the short existence of material things. I agree wholeheartedly with these two principles. Spiritual and mental things last for a much longer time than any knick knack ever can. And indeed it is easy to believe that an object holds a sentiment to us, think backwards to what that object first transformed from. A treasure chest, a block of wood, a log, a tree, a small seed. Look at that sentimental object for what it really is and it truly is nothing more than what we make out of it. Yet we still have the sentiments and memories that object supposedly holds. I too believe that there is no reason in holding onto things that we don’t need either. Eighner is trying to explain to us that we shouldn’t place our happiness in such things that clutter our lives and are really just
Life is a struggle to defy the inevitable. Since the beginning of time man has contemplated his own death, labored over the meaning of life, and created religion to explain all that he can not understand. Death at some point will catch up with all of society and at some point the entire world as human beings have come to know it will come to an end. No one can hide from death or attempt to out run its ever-expanding claw; death is absolute. It is possibly the only certainty in all of human existence. Whether the sun explodes sucking itself into its own infinite gravity, or human beings finally manage to destroy this beautiful planet, life will end. All great societies have come to tragic anti-climatic ends. The Romans slowly poisoned themselves through their use of an amazingly complex lead piping system, and Athens feel eventually to an equally dismal fate. In our modern society the world has watched as many threats of global destruction have come and gone. The fact that currently the nuclear arsenal of the United States alone could easily destroy all of earth leaves many fearing that the end is near. The contemplation of ones eventual demise leads one to think that life is no longer worth the effort to live. In Cats Cradle the destruction of the world is realized by the invention of a substance capable of freezing all water on earth. Its inventor was a peaceful man, a man who invented for the sake of discovery, for the sake of the human race. It was only after his death, that the greed and stupidity of man allowed this substance to end all man has struggled to create. Throughout human existence man’s disregard for his home and his environment is evident in all aspects of cultural. This disregard for the frailties of nature will eventually lead to the death of all humanity.

There is no specific reason as to why people do it, but there are factors that may lead to a person becoming an animal hoarder. If someone, for instance, has gone through a very traumatic event in their life they may find a way to cope by being with an animal or two. As time goes on that animal or two becomes twenty, twenty-five, and even more in some cases. If a person has an attachment disorder of some kind and is not treated properly it can lead to a case of animal hoarding. They will become overly attached and will believe that they need more around them at all times. Paranoia, depression, and delusional thinking are just some of the many mental illnesses that have been linked to animal hoarding
When I was a kid, Christmastime was always very special too me and it still is today, I had to discern whether or not to open the presents when everyone else was still sleeping or to be patient
For example, I threw away two garbage bags full of trophies after high school graduation. While none of these trophies were given for simply participating, the lesson learned is the same. I didn’t need to see awards every single day when I wake up to know what I’ve accomplished, I lived it. These plastic memorabilia pieces are just that, something to attach a memory too. The sooner children are able to let go of their
A pack of dogs is playing in a ditch which is in the middle of a busy road. Some people in the cars look to see if the dogs' owner is nearby and wonder why anyone would allow their dogs to play so close to danger. Some drivers seem oblivious to the motley assortment romping in the water next to the road. They all keep driving without another thought for the safety or lives of those poor creatures. Unfortunately, this is a common scene in many areas. Unwanted dogs and cats are dumped to fend for themselves because there just are not enough homes for all of them. Where have these unwanted animals come from? The huge population is attributed to out of control breeding due to irresponsible owners, breeding by owners solely for profit without care for the health of their animals and the pet population, and puppy mills or commercial breeding.
First, from a child's point of view I believe that parents are their child(’s/ren’s) first love. They are the child's example and model of everything in life, they are the child's first teachers. “If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is to teach their children to love challenges, be intrigued by mistakes, enjoy effort, and
My grandmother gave me a car for graduation, it was a beautiful Mustang. At my high school we had to do a capstone project which required 10,000 words and two year s of research- mine was about Mustangs.. I dreamt about that car since I was a little girl and I received the car a week before college started, my grandfather died a few days later; I named the car Roy after him. I suppose it sounds silly to love a car, but all of my dealings with death were so unhappy, the car was a welcome reprieve. It was the happiest day of my life, the car felt like an escape from sadness and freedom to begin my new life as a college student. I struggled with the loss of my grandfather, but being at college and having my car to remember him by helped me distract myself, when I was sad "we" (my car and I) would take a drive
When I think of my childhood, my little red golf cart comes to mind. When the typical person gets ready to go to their lake place they think about the water, relaxation or perhaps an ice cold drink. Unlike most I have always thought about riding around on my golf cart. I have loved my little golf cart since the day I first saw it, but I never thought that it could hold such significant sentimental value, nor all of the memories that it does.
“A dog is a man’s best friend” goes much deeper than the phrase might initially imply. Recently many medical journals have begun to identify with the many and varied benefits of pet ownership. Men have always relied upon animals for work, transportation, and survival. As times have changed, man has begun to appreciate a different bond with animals. Gone are the days of animals running free outside around the homestead, for now animals are allowed inside and are considered by many to be an integral part of our daily lives! Medical studies have found that animals have a much greater intelligence level than originally thought. Through proper training and experience, animals are not only household pets, but also are becoming an accepted form of medical treatment.
All of these objects are from people I love. They are the people who will help me if I’m in trouble, the people I have never had the chance to meet, or people I will never see again. Whenever I look at those items, it brings me back to the times I’ve had with them or stories I’ve heard about them. Whether the memory is hearing my mom talk about her mother’s dinner parties filled with fancy talk and tea or reminiscing about the time I had to eat green jello, I love them
When I was born, I had a special blanket. I had three of them. First I had a white one, then two blue ones. One was a light blue and the other was a dark blue. I still have these blankets today. My mom said “you could never get to sleep without these blankets. They were my prized possessions.
Values are more than taking care of a thing for the value that it has for example a neckless, a neckless could be worth so much and it has a great value but sometimes the value is not money value is the way you see that object with emotions. Emotions that make the person we are some are more sensitive, some dot really show there feeling and others just don’t care. My values and belongings are important to me because this is what makes me the person I am today. Also because it shows what I see and well see or what I will live the rest of my life and that will be always important. Many people are not grateful for the valuable things and persons they have. Sometimes I feel like I might be one of those persons because I don’t value like should everything I have. Coming across this essay, I’ve noticed that I need to be more grateful and value what have. The things and persons I choose that reflect on my values and principles are my parents, cameras, decorating, and religion.
I value my parents who love me and my siblings who fight with me, I value my grandmothers who shower me with gifts and my grandfather who showers me with love. I value the big smile I get from my mother in the morning and I value the sweet smell of food cooking on the stove at night. I value shelter, and I value the blessing I have to have a home along with a bed to sleep and pillows to sleep on. I value my neighbors who are all a part of the community I live in, and I value my community. I value the connection we have with one another and the relationships we have formed throughout the years. I value the way I was brought up and I value the respect I have for those who brought me up. I value the happiness always resting on my home and I value the respect we have for one another. I value the ability to speak and be heard and the ability to hear and to listen. My family made me into the person I am today and they helped form the path I have taken in life. I value my roots because without roots I would never have reached the place I am
