Each person, individual, human being, or whatever you may call your self, has a vast number of characteristics that represent them. Each being’s personality is a tangles mess that forms their unique qualities. As there is more than a variety of traits each person contains, the list of objects that could symbolize myself is limitless. Nonetheless, I have chosen these three items that express myself most efficiently.
Eleven years ago, my parents and I moved into Warszawa, Poland, where I had fallen in love with beauty of city. The city contained a mixture of modern buildings and historical structures. Though, most of the ancient architectures were reconstructed, after more than half the city was demolished during World War ıı. These buildings and statues from the medieval times caught my eye the most because I’ve always been fascinated with things from olden times, where there was no electricity and candles were used. As a matter of fact, my early childhood dream was and still is to live back in the time where Kings and Queens ruled, served by royal knights. Being the princess of place where I would ride on carriage, and have the privilege of wearing gowns of exotic fabrics. While there, not only did I love the architecture, the country itself is a charm, the trees that dotted high ways, the stillness and soothing winds that blew across quiet nation. Warszawa is one of my dearest places to be, but unfortunately when we moved out of the country three years later, I never returned back. But I brought a postcard with me, from a gift shop during the fun afternoons spent in Lazienki Park. On the card, about 38 tiny pictures of famous structures, containing both modern and antiquated buildings filled up the postcard, which coincidentally is shaped like a heart. The photographs includes the Old Town Market Place, Royal Castle, Wilano Palace, Presidential Palace, and so on. I absolutely miss Poland and it’s wonders, but the postcard is all I have, for now. The card represents my affection of Warszawa and the Medieval times.
In my life, above almost everything, is reading. If I could, I would sit inside a enormous library, with gleaming golden ladders that stretch up against the ceiling high book shelves, hundreds and thousands of shelves stacked with books about absolutely anything and everything. Only my mother probably won’t allow me to sit all day in there. Nonetheless, I read every minute of my free time, I even read in gatherings, parties and family outings. There are two piles next to bed, four shelves full of books and some even have double rows! Another shelf in the closet with three rows of books. That’s just how much I bought from stores, so it doesn’t count the countless number of I borrowed from the library. In other words, you can say that reading is my life. I’ve read over a ton of books, varying mostly in the fantasy genre, and to find the right object to represent would be hard. Maybe my favorite book would do good, yet to choose a book above all the other ones is challenging too. For I enjoyed, The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis, Harry Potter by J.K Rowling, Twilight Saga by Stephine Meyer, Fallen by Lauren Kate, and so forth. After pondering and fishing around my room, I chose my favorite bookmark instead of favoured book.Not only does it in a way represent my passion for reading, but also that my hobby, not so coincidentally is collecting bookmarks. Two years ago, my collection started when I realized that bookmarks were a important part of reading, for obviously you’ve got to keep track of, until where you have read. This particular bookmark is exceptional to me than my others in my collection because it’s unique. Most bookmarks I’ve come across have sayings that are to encourage people to read books, but this one has a quote, “Laugh when you can. Cry when you must.” It’s eye-catching too, for it’s larger than most typical bookmarks, it is just slightly bigger than my hand. The colors are distinctive, so are the shapes that border the quote. To truly add the finishing touch, the bondi blue ribbon. Going to bookstores captivates me, searching for new books are my entertainment. All those new enchanting novels that hold secrets of who knows what. The bookmark was just hanging there, on an ordinary day, looking through the stacks of books, when it caught my eye. It seemed to me that the appealing would do good in my collection. So, just like that, I bought the bookmark, which is currently my favorite bookmark. Reading would most probably, describe me the best, against everything else, for reading is frankly my life.
Frustrating, isn’t it? Obstacles preventing you from saving your work, the spinning wheel irritating you, and your typing indiscriminately on the keyboard while using your other hand you keep clicking aimlessly on the screen attempting to solve technical problem which you’re very sure you it won’t ever make sense to you. In a situation almost identical to the one, I would think differently. As a matter of fact, I’d be thinking the exact opposite of what is mentioned above. I’m what you’d call a “Computer Geek”, for working on the computer is my absolute, second best pass time, after reading of course. Whether it’s just browsing through an search engine, troubleshooting technical difficulties, or chatting/catching up with friends and family from far and wide, I’m on it. Sometimes, when there is nothing in the entire world that can delight me, I’m wandering through my computer, discovery new short cuts, new mechanisms to personalize my computer, cool, pretty or unique pictures for my desktop, or just smiling at snapshots that bring back old memories. Most of my time is already spent on the computer because now days, with the modern gadgets, nearly all teachers are giving out homework that utilize the Internet. Not only does it effect that this age has more sophisticated than a decade or so ago, printing out paper is an issue for the it impacts the earth. Extra usage of paper, electricity, plastic and so on, has caused global warming, pollution, and et cetera. Choosing carefully, I decided upon showcasing my Kitty Thumb-Drive to symbolize zeal for using electronic devices, especially the computer. I guess my personal desktop would shown everyone, without doubt, my passion for gizmo's, but that’s too obvious and boring. The Thumb-Drive is shaped unusually, for I’m pretty sure not many people have USB that take the appearance of a cat. Besides, cats and any other feline creature, are outright the second to none animals in my world. The majority most probably would pick dogs, but I, unlike them, have a crazed obsession with the feline family. Tigers are my topmost favorite, though I’d choose any breed of cat over dogs or such beasts. In addition, Julia C., one of my best friends, just prior to moving away, she presented to me with the thumb-drive. It bring backs the good times we had, laughing at jokes, pretending to be responsible and so forth. This Thumb-Drive, formed in the shape of a pearly white miniature cat, is unique and special, on account of the fact it represent my relish for the cat family, memories of one of my best friend and electronic appliances.

Kitty Figure:
Even though describing someone, anyone in only a few objects is practically absurd, I’ve chosen three items, out of everything in my room, out of everything that I have held, I chose them. The postcard of Warszawa (Warsaw), illustrated that of all the places you can find on the altas, Warszawa, Poland is my personal favorite. Reading is the very best productive work I could possible think of, to show that, plus my hobby; collecting bookmarks, I decided to displayed my dearest bookmark. Last, but not the least, my Kitty Thumb-Drive shaped in the form of a snowy white cat stands for my fondness of the electronic devices and, what I think to be, the supreme animals; the feline family, also known as, the cat family. Choosing with difficulty, the settled on picking the Warszawa postcard, my favorite bookmark and my special Kitty Thumb-Drive to myself.
