Collection



I like to collect things. I think I had this habit since I was younger it started with a simple sticker book I got as a reward at school. After I got the sticker book, I was obsessed with stickers, trying to fill up every page with the cutest and coolest stickers. I remember whenever I went to a store with my parents I would be begging them to buy me some stickers. Now that I think about the past, I think I was a foolish child because if you think logically, what would I have done with those stickers. It is not like they would be valuable in the future.

During my middle school years, I developed the habit of collecting coins. Not like quarters from different states. I collected currency from other countries. I still have a whole jar of coins at home filled with coins and currencies from Spain, France, England, and China. I still collect coins but not as wild as I did back then.

I think collecting things is quite rewarding, and not just some crazy obsessive hobby. Collecting things can be used in a intellectual way, because you can learn history about the things that you have collected, and it also allows you to discover things you have never known. It is also relaxing and I believe that it is a form of challenge, because you could be searching so hard to find that specific item to complete your collection, and once you do find it, you will feel so accomplished.
