These are my basketball shoes along with my ankle brace. This is very significant and important to me because a lot of times being active gets me through the semesters. It is a great stress relief for me and I love these shoes because they are extremely comfortable and they are my first ever “real” pair of basketball shoes. All of my other shoes have been running shoes or tennis shoes that doubled as basketball shoes. The ankle brace is also important because I am extremely injury prone. I have super bad ankles and I have to wear these so I don’t get hurt every time I play basketball.
As all of you know, I collect elephants. This particular elephant was given to me when I helped my girlfriend move her stuff up here this past semester in the FREEZING cold and snow. Her parents gave me this elephant to go into my bathroom. It is a night light and it means a lot to me because of who gave it to me and what it signifies.
