Me. Me? Me!

"What is the most precious thing you own?"

One of TOEFL speaking questions was to tell the most precious thing I own. As for that question, I chose a word, 'picture.' But for now, if I was to be asked again it would take rather long for me to answer.

An object should be some kind of thing that is non-living.

An object that is 'most' precious to me.

How cruel is to pick only one among all the things I care about on top of knowing that I couldn't pick a living person.

There are just too many and picking just one among those, would that be just too picky? At least for me, that is. However, I must say there the reason there are too many is because I live looking back to past, enjoying the present, and walking slowly towards future.

Pictures that show my growth and the memories that is not to be forgotten, a laptop that allows to contact with the world, a phone that helps me to keep in touch with my family and friends at all time, letters I have gotten from my parents, brother, and friends, violin and piano that I play often, and all the small objects with all different and unique memories. I honestly have no idea which come before which and which is less important than the other. All are mine and those little objects surrounding me somehow identifies me.

Now, I must say, if I was to answer a question, Explain and tell what you value the most, I would answer the question as me. Yes, I of course thought to answer the question as my father, mother, brother, or even a friend, but what do all these love of mine mean if I was to not exist. Therefore I will say with a firm voice, "me!"
