Why did I bring my necklace with to Andover?

      
         My heart-shaped locket. My favorite necklace. I’ve worn this since I was thirteen. I still remember that day on my thirteenth birthday during dinner, my mother came over to me and held a tiffany and company gift box, handed it to me. I opened it and it was the most beautiful necklace I’ve ever seen, my mother said it was to celebrate my first year of being a teenager. I love this necklace and I treat it as if it were my pet. I would clean it and wipe it with a jewelry cloth and take care of it with all my heart. I brought this necklace with me to Andover because this is my first trip I’ve been away from family for such a long time and I would like to have something to feel and look at all the time that reminds me of my mother and my family.
