1. Green Glass Butterfly. This butterfly was given to me by my great grandmother. She asked me if there was anything from her house I wanted before she moved, and this was the only thing I chose—but it was a treasure I'd wanted since I was a little girl. My grandmother is an important figure in my life and one of my greatest role models.
2. Topaz Ring. This ring was given to me by my grandparents on my 16th birthday. The blue topaz is my birthstone. It always makes me think of my grandparents and is one of my greatest treasures.
3. Airpods. I am always listening to music. Whether I'm working on a project, driving to class, cleaning my room, or painting, there is always music in my ears. I pride myself on my ability to find really good indie bands and I love sharing what I find with others. My Airpod case also has a Flagler sticker on the front. Flagler College is one of my very favorite places.
4. Guitar Pick. I play acoustic guitar. When I'm not listening to music and making new playlists, I'm strumming my guitar and singing.
5. Paint Brushes. I'm an art student, so art supplies are the bare necessities of my existence. These particular paint brushes are special to me because I have used them all my life. Many of the well-loved brushes in my collection were my mom's when she was my age.
6. The Great Gatsby Collectors Edition Book. This book was given to me on my last birthday by my best friend. I had my eye on this gorgeous gold-leaf hardback for months. She heard me mention it once and then surprised me with it. Though beautiful, the book is actually special because it shows the thoughtfulness and care of my friend.
