Important Ones

I have this orange bracelet that looks like a piece of a rope, but it's more than a rope. It has a golden hand symbol on it. This hand represents an object that can protect me from bad luck. The hand symbol doesn't make it special for me; it's because it was a gift from my dad for my 14th birthday. I always wear this bracelet when I feel like I'm having a bad day or when I have an important test. I also believe that it brings me good luck. 

I understood that this bracelet brings good luck to me two years ago. 

I have a best friend at my old school to whom I can always call my sister because she is actually like my sister. We've known each other for more than 9 years. Her parents had to move to another city, so she had to move, too. She didn't want to move because she had friends at home, and she really liked the school. I thought that she was going to leave. I was so scared because if she would have left, I would have no friend close to me like her. Fortunately, she stayed one year. When we were 8th graders, she told me that after our final test day, she would get the information from her parents if she was gonna leave or stay. 

On our final test day, I was carrying that bracelet because the test was important, and I was hoping that my friend could have stayed. After our test, I asked her what happened. 

I got two great news that day. First one was that I had gotten 97 from my test, and the second one was about my friend. She was staying. I was so happy. She was happy too. 

I really like Toy Story movies. I found them really fun to watch. I have one of the toys in that movie. The main character Woody is a cowboy toy. I have its real life toy. I got it in Rome when I was 10 years old. It means a lot to me, since I think that it has a huge impact on me. When I was a little kid, whenever I was sad, I would play with it, and it would somehow make me feel so much better. It's still making me happy. When I was 12 my brother had to leave home for boarding school. I was really sad. I love my brother even though we used to fight a lot. During those times I really needed something to make me happy every day. My parents really helped me through that time, but when Woody was with me I was feeling somehow better. It reminded me of my times with my brother,so that was kind of a way to remember him.
