The best gift Ever Has anyone ever asked you the question that what your most favorite gift given by someone? Or something sounds like this? If someone asks me these kinds of questions, then I will immediately say yes. The necklace that my mother gave me on my 14th birthday is probably the most valuable and favorite item that I have ever got. Of course, it is not only because of the quality, but also because of its meaning. Actually, I am always wearing it around my neck even now in order not to lose it. I can say the necklace is a very important and very familiar item to me. I don’t know why, but it makes me feel better whenever I feel troubled or I feel heavy at heart. I just close my eyes and hold the necklace in my hand, then everything becomes alright and I feel much more comfortable than before. I want you to know that I am neither Christian nor Buddhist. The reason why I mentioned this is because I think usually Christians or Buddhists have a religious symbol such as necklace or ring that can make them feel better. Also they believe that it has a power from the God. Don’t they? Although I cannot prove how it gives me strength, I trust that it has a special power. Probably, the necklace is the most precious one of my belongings. I still remember the day, of my 14th birthday, when my mother gave me the beautiful necklace as a gift. It was exactly September 29, 1999 and I remember that day vividly. It was a wonderful day for me. I cannot forget that my heart thumped so fast before I opened the gift box. I took a breath deeply. And finally, I could feel tears in my eyes when I opened it. I could see a fantastic silver necklace inside a box which my mother gave me. Because I was really surprised, I couldn’t say anything when I saw it first. I thought it was the brightest thing or shiny thing that I had ever seen. At least, as I thought. Now I can see it hanging on my

    In the 4th paragraph of this essay, the author, Alex Horton explains how his feelings and memories can never fully be realized in a piece of jewelry no matter the care put into its creation. For his example, the metal bracelet he refuses to take off for anyone bears the date of his friend’s death on a shared battlefield years ago. In the beginning, it seems he is almost upset by the simple sterility of the ordering website’s ease of use and the removal of emotion until seeing the finished product. Alex mentions it sometimes may only be redundant and questions how insignificant it is when measured against what he remembers of that person and that fateful day in Iraq. Unfortunately, while it does serve as a daily reminder of the importance of…

He came over a looked at it and said it was pretty. Well Christmas came and I was wondering if he got it for me. I opened all my presents from him and they were all great except I didn’t get my ring.

    Boorstin also says that, “Dissent is the great problem of America today.” That reminded me of the book that we read over the summer, The Lord of the Flies. Jack and Ralph show dissent by nearly killing each other, never finding a common ground on how to run the island, and they can never just talk to one another. There always has to be something that’s said through another character, and soon gets back to the other character. They’re arguing never got them anywhere, and that’s why that example is an example of dissent.…

    I was given a puzzle a couple of months ago from a friend of mine, it had 1,500 pieces. I haven’t put together a puzzle since I was a kid. Isn’t it funny how we stop doing certain things when we grow up: puzzles, coloring, playing dolls, hop scotch, hide and go seek. Things that brought us so much joy as a child, we stop doing when we reach a certain age - it’s a shame, isn’t it?…

    My favorite object is a hand-made purse which I received in Cambodia last winter. As a member of a charitable organization, I signed up for an international voluntary camp and was assigned to Cambodia. This was the first time I traveled abroad. With a huge expectation and a bit of anxiety on the plane, I cannot help imagine what I am going to face later. No sooner had we arrived the local school than the students enthusiastically welcomed us at the gate. We taught some poor children after class to improve their English ability. They were such active students that showed their eagerness to learn. It really touched my heart. I have not only broaden my horizon but have also developed a strong attachment with those innocent kids during the ten days. Therefore, when it came to the day to leave, my eyes were filled with tears and felt rather reluctant to separate from them. To my astonishment, they held a farewell party for us, giving me a knitted colored purse which was made by themselves.…

    The most treasured possession for me would be an old fashioned classy watch given by my grandmother ten years ago. My grandmother bought this watch fifty years ago for my grandfather, for his forty year old birthday. It was made by “Galaxy & Co”, rectangular shape style, has black leather straps and their names engraved at the back of the watch. The watch was very popular back into 1960’s because it was a “limited edition” watch. However, the price of the watch is not the reason for me to treasure it so much, the story behind it is more important and valuable to me.…
