Things

Every day, I am constantly reminded of the heavy baggage that we students carry all of the time. The first things that come to mind are, of course, the physical burdens that are our backpacks, satchels, bags, or whatever we choose to lug around the gratuitous amount of coursework that we must transport. However, we all are holding much more in our possessions. As an example, I must admit that my family’s expectations in my success weigh much more; I understand that I must do well in school, that I must be both a respectable and respectful student, and that I must be as good of a person to others as possible. These few things mean quite a bit to me because I know that they are the keys to being a successful and happy person. While this list of baggage is relatively short, it holds much more weight in the big picture than any physical object ever could.
