One Medium Suitcase

Here is what I would take:

My softball glove and a softball would most defiantly be in my suit case. I love softball and I could toss it around when I got bored. It's been a big part of my life ever since I can remember.

I would bring a box of chalk in hopes that there would be concrete. Even though it's weird, I collected it when I was little and it reminds me of summer.

Well I hope this wouldn't be useless, but I would bring my fishing license in case I wanted to fish and if not it would remind me of all the great times. Fishing is a good way to waste time.

My Lucero shirt would be packed. It's my favorite shirt. I love the band and if it's with me this prevents Melissa from stealing it.

I would include my granny's ring. It reminds me of her. I remember the day she gave it to me perfectly even though it was forever ago.

A box of pictures would definitely be packed. I love pictures. They hold so many memories and they're fun to look at. This would also include year books.

I would bring a map. I could plan all the places I want to go. I would also always know where I was and where I came from.

My bucket list would come along with me. It has everything I want to do in life. I really want to finish it.

I would bring my creepy blue gnome. It could keep me company. I would also make it my traveling gnome.

I would take my lucky penny. You can never have too much luck. I might need luck for all the adventures and situations I get myself into.

Synetics

Which is like a contest? A cloud or a sunset?
A cloud because it has to compete to stay in the sky. It could evaporate. When clouds get heavy with rain they release it and disappear so they are competing to stay in the sky.
Which is more fearful? New or old?
New because it is unknown. New holds unpredictability which is scary. The old is familiar and expected.
Which is more difficult? A dream or a nightmare?
A dream because it shows your wants and desires. It's hard to see what you want and to know it's not real. Dreams make you want what you can't have even more.
Which has more pride? An entrance or an exit?
An exit has more pride. It's harder to leave than it is to come. It takes more pride to leave than to stay, unless it's going to school then it's way easier to leave.
Which is more suspenseful? Rain or snow?
Rain because it can turn into so much more. Rain can turn into a huge storm such as a tornado. It can flood everything. Rain can also help living things grow and thrive.
Which is more useful? A friend or an enemy?
A friend because they can have your back and should always be there for you. They will tell you the truth and help you out, while an enemy will back stab you and lie.
Which is more trustworthy? History or literature?
History because it's supposed to be fact. It has events that actually happened. Literature can be complete fiction and made up. It doesn't actually have to happen.
Which is sadder? Seek or find?
Seek because you're always searching. You actually care enough to search for what you want even if it chooses to run or hide from you. Find isn't sad because you found what you wanted. It didn't allude you, it chose to be found and wanted to be found.
Which is like a valentine? The truth or a lie?
A lie because valentines aren't always sincere. Some are illusions, smoke and mirrors. People only believe what they want to believe.
Which is like a legend? A mirror or a glass?
A glass because it can show you things you can't see with the naked eye. Magnified glasses show things you wouldn't know where there other wise. This would stick in your mind and become a legend.

Valuable lessons

1. Don't care what people think. It's important to do what you want to do and stand out. If everyone was the same life would be boring.
2. Not everything everyone says is true. People lie it's a fact of life and happens every day. Choose who to trust very wisely.
3. Enjoy life. It's to short to spend it miserable. Find fun and happiness in it. Appreciate the little things.
4. Know how to escape tricky situations. If you're trapped you need to find a way out. Don't find yourself in a crisis.
5. It's ok to break a few rules. Be your own person and accept the consequences.
6. Be nice to people. one day you might need a favor from them. Plus They'll gain respect for you.
7. Be resourceful. Use what you have. Don't be needy.
8. It's better to be early then late. You'll never know what you miss if you're late.
9. Be safe. In the famous words Sheryl Parrigon it is important to stay out of trouble. If you get in trouble it could go on a record.
10. Don't drink a drive. That's clearly a bad idea and a very important lesson.
11. Click it or ticket. Buckling up is very important and will save your life.
