Into Symbolic Designs and My Leather Belt

If I could put my life story on a leather belt and one another item, that other item would be a wallet or change purse. I would put it on a wallet because I take my wallet almost everywhere I go so everytime I look at it it would remind me of everything I've accomplished so far. The first item I would carve on my leather belt or wallet would be my house. When I was two years old I moved from a house in Bayside to where I live currently. The next carved item would be a bookbag symbolizing my first day of school. The next two symbols would be a soccer ball and then a lacrosse stick. I began playing those sports during my elementary career. My fifth character would be a cruise ship, because while I was in third grade I went on a cruise where I went to places outside of the United States. The sixth symbol on my belt or wallet would be the word scholarship. In seventh grade I got a scholarship for being the student with the highest grade point average. The next element on my belt would be a ballot for when I won the position of school president in eighth grade. The eighth and final symbol on my belt or wallet would be the John Carroll emblem symbolizing the new chapter in my life known as high school. All of these characters and symbols make up what is known as my life's journey to this day.
