Years from now students at Fishers High school will wonder what was popular, what the average student enjoyed doing with their time many years in the past. As a student in 2013 I would include some of the most important items that reflect who I am as a person throughout my entire life. Starting from when I was little, the first item I would include is a jar of sand from Wrightsville Beach. This is the beach that my family would spend our weekends at when we lived in North Carolina; so

many of my earliest memories come from the place I called home. The second item included would be a soccer ball. Although I don’t play soccer anymore, it played a huge role in my life in all of my elementary, middle school, and early high school years making me the person I am today through friendships and teamwork.
