Things I Carry

I read Ryan's post, and I realized what I was going to write about. I too wear bracelets every day. A few of them, I have made. Most of them, however, were from other people and places. My oldest one was from freshman year, when one of my best friends, Amanda Dixon, made me a purple and red bracelet. A few other friends have made me bracelets , but the one Amanda made me has always remained the most important to me. I wear them everywhere, except during marching band competitions, where it isn't allowed. Whenever one breaks, I find a way to fix it. Last time I counted, I had 23 total. Some people laugh and scoff, but for me, my bracelets will always be reminders of friends and memories that I will never leave behind.
