My Most Cherished Possession
My Most Cherished Possession

Do you have something that is as valuable as a winning lotto or power ball lottery ticket, or an award that is displayed like it is worth more than an antique that has been appraised for a value that is exponentially more than its original value? I have such a possession that I would like to share with you. I am not going to tell you what it is right away, but I will describe it as best as I can and then reveal its’ beauty later. It is as translucent as water drops that nourishes and fulfills a parched soul and as huge as the findings of a dilapidated sunken pirates ship whose bounty of dablooms and golden treasures covers the sandy floors of murky waters miles below the surface of a blackened sea bed. I cherish this possession for it is as mighty as the steel hammer of the immortal Greek God Thor and all of his mighty powers. April 11, 1965, my cherished possession began its formation. For nine months, it was housed in a bladder and carried about in its comforting chariot and cared for as if it was a prince clothed and born to royalty. As I became older, wiser, and much more mature, my cherished possession became as visible and vibrant as the stars of Orion. My cherished possession, “my personality” came to light. My possession emerged from a seedling nurtured with love, respect and fed bountifully with gifts of kindness and knowledge. It stands as erect as many of tall buildings aligned upwards rocketing towards the moon. My cherished possession is as powerful as an army of warriors geared and ready for battle. This cherished possession allows me to walk gracefully and share with the world the teachings of kindness, love, honor, trust, and the longing to help others whenever and wherever possible that my queen Carol Marie Brown instilled in its’ formation. Most of all, my cherished possession, “my personality” is one of a kind and belongs to me, Bernard Brown Jr. I was given this cherished possession to share with the world

    One possession that I hold dear to me is my baseball glove. I’ve had it for what will be 5 years by the time my birthday comes around. It’s nothing fancy or extraordinary, just a black Wilson A2000 left-handed glove that I still use to this day. I go out of my way to always make sure it is in the best condition possible. I change the laces on it every 6 months. I always keep a rubber band wrapped around it with a…

    It’s like stepping into a store and not knowing exactly what you are looking for. But once you come across this item, you find yourself not being able to leave until it is in your possession and you know you will have it forever. Kathe Connor from the story June Birthing by Joyce Carol Oates relates to this thought because she comes across a similar issue, but with a whole different meaning. One evening on her way home from work, Kathe discovers a fawn on the side on the road. She wants to save the extremely small newborn animal and along the way she discovers new feelings and a power within herself that she never thought in her wildest dreams she would have. Throughout the story Kathe portrays many different traits, such as her wisdom, her motivation, and the kind heartedness she has for others.…

    Personality is difficult to describe, but nearly impossible to define in a universally acceptable way. Throughout history many definitions of personality have been proposed but none universally accepted. This is because of the reality that each individual’s definition comes with a unique spin placed upon it by that individual’s life experience, surroundings, and personal viewpoint. Personality can be described as the regular presentation of certain traits and attributes that lend cohesion and uniqueness to behavior and thought (Feist & Feist, 2009). Although there is not a single, universally accepted definition of personality,…

    In reading the novel “The Things They Carried” in my english class this year, I have learned that most, if not all, people carry intangible and tangible things with them everyday. In my readings, I found that the soldiers in the novel carry their tangible things to help with what they are carrying intangibly. Regardless, the things we carry make us stand out in our own way; they make us who we are. I, for example, carry the emotional stress that attacks me everyday, and a ring that I love.…

    Ownership vs. Identity

    I believe that ownership applies not only to real, physical objects, but also impalpable ones as well; one can own something, such as a pen or pencil, and also own a creation of the mind, like a thought or dream. It is clear that owning something is more than possessing material things, something like a concept or idea, and can then be developed into our sense of self.…

    Each time I gaze into a mirror, or respond to a question or assert a preference that requires a personal perspective, ‘I’ thereby assume an idea of personal identity. As ordinary common sense dictates, that personal perspective is my own insofar as I maintain a sense of ownership of my personal identity. In this view of ordinary common sense, ‘I’ assume ownership in light of the perception of ‘me’, ‘I’, or ‘myself’ (my emphasis). However, in Hume’s view, to have first-person perception of me is to have experiences of bundles of impressions from past experiences that are as temporally distant as my youth, yet as temporally local as now. Accordingly, phenomenal experiences of personal identity occur in constant conjunctions of experiential data…

    In the novel The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien, soldiers would do just about anything to stay sane and alive during the Vietnam War. Some men would have carried things with them during the war. These same men would carry things to remind them of home, others would carry an item to help them feel better during their hardships. What these men carried was something to hold onto, moreover not an item but of a memory or a dream. Soldiers would do just about anything to stay sane and alive during the Vietnam War. I also have items that I would feel wrong without; these items are symbols of me.…

    Solving My People Puzzle Phase 1 involves discovering my personality. This paper will bring to light how I operate through the descriptions that are provided, throughout this paper. Part of this assignment, I had to submit a survey to at least two of the people who knew me best and they had to describe me based on the questions that were on the survey. I also had to participate on an online assessment and disclose its results. This journey of discovering me, made me come face to face (according to the assessment), the “me I see” versus the “me I want to see”. The assessment was not designed to control me but rather manage who I already am. This will serve me greatly as I attend to the counselee needs, which is the goal in counseling.…

    Every person has on object in their life that is very precious to the, for me, it is my pearl necklace. They are small and round and a lustrous cream color with a pink sheen. They have a tiny gold clasp that holds the necklace together. My pearls tell a story than no other personal artifact can: my heritage. The pearls symbolized tradition and womanhood in my family’s life, and they were to be worn with dignity and pride. Every holiday, the girls of the family accessorized their outfits with the pearls given by our grandmother. They were something we all had in common: the thread that linked our generations together. I recall looking down at my Nana’s casket and I could almost hear her voice whispering in my ear, “Never let any one prevent you from being you,” her outlook on life. Taking my last glimpse of Nana, I gently rubbed her casket goodbye and then rubbed my pearls. Instead of clinging to my mother that day, I clenched to my pearls.…

    One of them is that I performed taxidermy on my dog and parrot when they died. Everybody assumes that this was done while I was harboring my son, but they are wrong. I was absolutely broken when I learned that my husband was killed in the war. I felt as alone as if I was on a deserted island. By stuffing them, I am able to remember him as if it were yesterday, even though it was 20 years ago. The replicas conjure up these memories because they were his pets The second side to the “double-edged sword” as the agency man called it is that it makes my home look more inviting and congenial. This is something that, all through my life, I have tried to maintain. Sometimes it seems like the only thing I have to take pride in at this…
