The most important thing I have is my gold ring. I got it from my dad when I graduated from high school. I got good grades, so he was really happy and gave me the gold ring. He bought it for me. I've had it for seven to eight years. I usually wear it for happy occasions, be it someone’s wedding, any interview I'm going to have, or when I have an exam. I keep it for important occasions. It is important because that was the last thing he gave me before he passed away, so it holds very sentimental value for me. It has a pearl on it, which I changed from white to purple. That color holds a strong connection for me because when he passed away, a lot of things changed, and purple means love to me. It feels like he's always with me, so that's why I chose a purple pearl. It's really a unique gold ring because I don't have any other ring like it. Whenever I miss him or feel low, I wear it. That's about all I can tell you about it. I've had it for eight to ten years, and I hope to keep it safe and not lose it.
