Every school day, I put on my backpack the same way. Left strap first, right strap second, and then I proceed to tug on the adjusters to ensure my backpack doesn't appear to be to "freshman" like. Although, my backpack sits so snug on my back appearing to be almost empty, it contains so many important things that are crucial to my success in school. The notebooks, folders, planner, pencils, pens, and erasers that are in my backpack reflects how much time, effort, and dedication I put into everyday of school. It shows that school is my main focus and that each day I come prepared is another day I'm paving the way towards future success. The items I carry in my backpack along with motivation will carry me to bigger and better things in the future such as admittance to a top-notch college of my dreams. And that is what I've been working for my whole life to see myself on the campus of my dream college. From an anthropologist's perspective, the need to keep a backpack filled with notebooks, folders, pencils would speak to the human need to leave behind a legacy or something that you will be remembered for. Since the beginning of time, humans have always left some sort of artifacts behind, so that a part of us would always live on. So, my backpack as an artifact would show that the studious side of him still lives on.
