– Gum When I first saw this assignment, I found it very confusing as to how this would be able to tell my personality, but that changed. When I started unpacking my bag, I realized how some of these items relate to me and who I am. For example, the gum accurately portrays part of me. I have minor OCD and one of my main symptoms is hating bad breath, therefore the gum easily accessible in my backpack in case I feel like my breath smells bad. The rubber ducks, even though from my professor, represent the fun and “goofy” side of me and how I show that to other people when I get closer to them. The stickers on my computer represent me and the places that I have been, like Emory and Jackson Hole. My charger represents my dependency on my electronics, just like everybody else. My iPad enables me to take handwritten notes, which I like exponentially more than typing because I feel it helps me remember topics when I physically write them down. Finally, I have lots of problems with my hands, especially when I write. The mechanical pencil is a strategy that I came up with when dealing with this problem to teach myself not to press down too hard on the paper and make my hand cramp. I have been using mechanical pencils ever since elementary school because they help me control how I write on the page. #sk6
