I would have a dog on my belt because I love animals, and my favorite animal is a dog. I have had dogs in my home since I was four years old, and I have grown up to love them even more. I think dogs are great companions, and I do not think I will ever live life without one.
I would have a wave of water on my belt because since as long as I can remember, I have loved water. When I was very young, my mom took me to the beach, and put me down on the sand by the ocean. Instead of running away from it, like any other baby might do, I ran towards the water, loving the splash against my face, and the cold feeling of it. Since then, I have always loved going to the beach, straight to the ocean, and any other forms of water have always appealed to me.
I would have a peace sign on my belt because I think that peace is a very important thing. I think that war is terrible, and peace signs to me are an important symbol to remind us that peace is the most important thing, more important than anything that a war represents.
I would have a book on my belt because since I learned how, I have always loved to read. Even when I was little and could not read, my grandfather and mom would read to me a lot, and I always loved it. I still love to read, and I like to try all kinds of different genres out to see if I like them.
I would have a pen on my belt because I also enjoy writing. Although writing essays are okay, I think my real strong suit is writing stories. I like writing stories, short and long, and writing is something that relaxes me. It is really fun to sit down and write all about something interesting. I am not in the middle of any stories right now, but I hope to be able to start another one soon.
I would have a camera on my belt because I love to take pictures. My mom also loves cameras and pictures so that might be where that interest in me comes from. However, I like taking meaningful pictures such as nature especially, though I do like to take pictures of my friends and me. It is so interesting to look at angles and trying to find the best one to fit the picture.
I would have a sun on my belt to represent summer, my favorite time of the year. My birthday is in the summer, I can go to the beach, and I love the warmth of the sun. Life just seems to be more relaxed in the summertime (to me anyway), and I feel happier.
Finally, I would have a bathing suit on my leather belt to represent swimming. I swim competitively on a club team, as well as at John Carroll, and swimming is a large part of my life. I started swimming competitively when I was about ten years old, but even before that, I loved going to the pool. When I was about three or four, I learned how to dive into the deep end, and I have never stopped diving since. I love swimming, and I hope to one day take my swimming career far.
