Catharina Botermans- yellow class

My Fabulous Bag


All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better''. I am an ordinary person, but what makes me special is the memories from experiences I have inside. I have experienced a lot in my life because I moved countries, I had to make new friends and I've traveled to a lot of places. In the following paragraphs you will get to know me better and I'll share some of the happy and exciting memories from my life.




     The first object is a photo of my friends and little dolls of Malaysia. This photo is important to me because it remind me of my friends in Holland. The picture was taken at a surprise party that they made for me. I found it very surprising and very sweet that they had organized such thing. Also the dolls are very special to me because I send one to them to each one of my friends and I kept one for myself, so now I feel connected to them.
     Next are my first shoes from when I was a baby. These are very important to me because they remind me of my baby times. When I look at the pictures when I was wearing these shoes, I looked so cute. So whenever I look at them they always make me smile.
     Also an important thing that I have is my laptop. This is important because I keep all my photos on my laptop and these photos remind me of the good times and experiences. Another reason is because I can go on Facebook and all those websites so that I can communicate with all my friends around the world. 
     Next is my script from Thoroughly Modern Millie. This is important to me because I love drama and I try to participate in Drama events as much as possible. Last year I participated in the play, ISTA, I hosted and assembly, the middle school got talent show and the middle school music concert. This year I auditioned for the play and I got in again. I love acting and dancing on stage. This script reminds me of all the good times on stage and the preparation. The preparations are probably the best time of the play because you have so much fun and stress at the same time (not that I like stress).
     One thing that reminds me of lots of fun is a Buddha that I bought in Thailand. This is important to me because I was in Thailand with my mom only, for my tenth birthday. What we do in my family is that we get to go to a country that is near by the place where we lived. Since I lived in Malaysia I chose to go to Thailand. Also I got to choose who I wanted to go with and since my brother went to London with my dad I went to Thailand with my mom. This Buddha reminds me of all the fun things that me and my mom have experienced in Thailand. 
     Also another thing that is special to me is flip-flops. These slippers are important for me because they I bought them on the first day in Malaysia after the visit. My dad works in a building around the KL Sentral and we went there for lunch. My dad had to go back to the office but me, my sibling and my mom stayed at the train station and we went to all the shops. In the middle was a shop with all kinds of flip-flops and they were only ten ringgit each. I did not hesitate and just bought them because they were so cheat. This was the first thing that I bought in Malaysia.
     Another thing that is very important to me is a very little statue that I bought in Holland. On the last day I went downtown and we went to this toys shop. I saw this little model and I thought it was really sweet. Then I thought back to the past week and how my mom worked really hard moving and then I thought that it would be really nice of me to buy this present for her. I think this was the last thing I bought in the Netherlands before I moved.
     Another thing that is very important to me is the first yearbook that I got in 5th grade. This is important to me because I reminds me of my friends that I had during 5th grade. Lot's of my friends moved after that year or at the beginning of 6th grade. This reminds me of my friends because their pictures are in the front of the yearbook and their signatures are in the back.
     Another thing that I love is a mug that my best friend, Lotte, gave to me for my birthday. My birthday is during the summer break and she was already in Holland so I did not see her on my birthday. Before she left she told me that she would bring me back a present. She brought me back an '' I LOVE YOU'' mug and this present is now very special to me.
     Lastly my camera is very important to me. This is important to me because I take all my pictures with it and I bring it to every place where I go. I love taking pictures of anything; building, my friends, my family, me and other special occasions.
     These ten objects represent a really big part of my life. They either explain what I like to do, or what people or occasions are important for me. I have had some great experiences in my life commemorated through these objects. I hope that I will have lots of new experiences in my future.

  1. This was very interesting - I can see that friendship means a lot to you! You tried to give the personal stories behind your items. Well done. Now we need to work on smoother transitions between ideas, more powerful word choice and getting more of your zany voice in your writing. This is the right type of writing to really express your personality and it reads a little bit flat.
