I’m Jake and I carry many things in my backpack which directly reflect who I am. As you can see from the picture, there is a newspaper, notebook, laptop, and headphones.

The newspaper is important because I like to be current with the news. I’d ike to learn about a devious corporate merger that will affect jobs and trickle down to our region. School budget cuts, and murder and assault. Having this sense of knowing and being in control allow me to act more confidently.

The notebook is supposed to be used for school work and as a make-shift planner. What it actually utilized for is to record thoughts, witty one –liners, poetry and lyrics. This is a safe place for me to record my thoughts and make my statement.

My laptop is my connection with the world, it is a way for me to interact with friends, family, students, teachers and business colleagues. It acts as my communication tool and portal to the world.

My headphones are a tool that I use to not only enjoy music, but to reference and monitor music and audio. I use them for when I mix music. The headphones act as a monitor for my self expression.

Each of these items are vital to me in my day to day. Even on days where I neglect to use them. Having them on my all the time, helps me feel connected and ready to take on the challenges of the day.
