My keychain

When I was living in the New Residence at Thompson Rivers University, I often see an event is holding over there named "One word to present yourself". It makes me think, what would people choose if they are asked to choose one item to present themselves. As for me, I would choose my keychain.

My keychain is full of different adorable plush toys. They are all presents for me from my different friends. Every toy represent one particular good friend of mine. Every time I see those toys, they remind me every one of my dear friends even though we are now in different places all over the world.  No matter how many years passed by or no matter how long will it take for us to see each other again, we will always share a common and precious memory and treasure these memory for the rest of our lives.

Secondly, those toys remind me of my university and my 4-year time that living in Macau. Living in Macau and studying in Macau University of Science and Technology is a whole new experience more me. It is the first time that I live in a city outside China  is with different social culture and political structure. Macau takes us in and gives us sense of belonging. It is our home. I wish I never had to graduate from there. I miss it so much.

Thirdly, there are many different keys on my keychain, such as my parents' home key, my boyfriend's home key and my best friend's home key. It is very hard to be separated from those people you love so much and those people who love you so much. These keys remind that my boyfriend, my friends and my family are waiting for me to come home. No matter what I will encounter in the future, they will always be home supporting me and yearning for my returning.

In my opinion, my keychain is not just a tool that can hang my keys on it. It symbolizes many things to me, like my youth, my friends, my family, my boyfriend. It stands for everything that I've been through since I am an adult. It reminds me that I will never be alone no matter what. It also reminds me that I shouldn't let myself slack off at any time, instead, I should keep working hard and finish my study to get home.
