I am not a very sentimental person, I definitely prefer to cherish memories and people over physical objects. I would say the objects that means the most to me and would best represent who I am as a person is my lettermen jacket. My senior year I was the only person from Yellow Springs High School to have a varsity jacket. As the captain of the varsity bowling team my jacket is a symbol of my past team and our commitment to each other and bowling. My pins and letter allow me to remember past seasons and my favorite memories in high school. I did not bring my jacket to college because I don’t have enough room, but I have a picture of my jacket in my senior photo.
My watch is something that also holds value in my life. I appreciate my Casio F-91w’s simplicity and light weight. I always like having simple solutions that work well, and this watch is a perfect representation of that. It has enough functions to be useful (a clock, alarm, stopwatch, and light) but not too many features that the watch is complicated to use or too large for my small wrists. It is minimal and it works, and I usually forget it is even there. That is also my philosophy for how we need to treat our solutions to problems in engineering and that is why I like this watch.
