Journal: What would take?

If I had to choose ten things to take from my house the first thing would be my quotes that I have on my ceiling. I would take these because they are my motivation when things get hard. The second thing would be my father’s high school jersey. It is a symbol for where I want to end up in my sports career. The next thing would be my fathers NCAA ring. This is something not my people have the opportunity to get. The next thing would be the copy of my mother’s degree. This is something that is important to her. The next would be my father’s degree. That is very important to him also. The next thing would be my father’s net from one of his basketball game. It has to be important if my father keep the net. The next thing would be my grandmother’s campaign pen when she ran for mayor for the first time. The next thing would be my mother’s campaign sign for when she ran for the school board. The next thing I would bring would be the book that I have about my uncle. He was the first black player at Decatur High School. The last thing would be the quilt that my great grandmother made. She is 94 and it means a lot to me.
