This is my appointment book, it is important for me because it helps me a lot in many ways of my life. I don't write only what I have to do, I also write how I feel or some motivational quotes that help me stay focus and present in my life.

The object I chose is my camera, it was a gift from my brother about 3 years ago. It is important for me because I love to take pictures, I think that with pictures you can tell a lot of stories. I’m not a professional, but I really enjoy it. I specially like to take pictures of nature and animals because those two things are other of my passions.

Hello everyone! I've been using this tetragrammaton for about 15 years. It's very rare the situation when I need to take It off (you now, X-Rays or InBody Tests). For me this silver piece is meaningful because it's symbols remembers me the knowledge that many religions shared and share about the spiritual and mental realms. What the mind can conceive it can achieve. In the most darkest times, this silver piece gave me the strength and faith I needed to navigate through the storms. So with the help that all the knowledge sculpted in the tetragrammaton I'm here, in this physical realm, to help people take more conscious decisions about what they do and consume everyday.

Hey everyone, my object is my cork board. As I love to display pictures and drawings from my friends and family. In general, this is very meaningful to me as it's like a time capsule. This started as a way to make my apartment feel more like mine, and not just like a temporary set up.

Hi everyone! The object I chose is a painting my grandmother made. I have never been inclined to painting or artistic hobbies (other than singing) but I remember that when I was younger, I’d really enjoy watching my grandma paint for hours on hours. This painting is special to me because it is the exact door that lead to the garden at my grandparent’s house, which was my favorite place to be when I was younger. Looking at this painting brings back lots of beautiful memories.

My favorite object is this pen, I choose this because I like write what I feel, is the way I have to vent my thoughts and feelings. When I write. When I write I feel more eager to move on because I think that the sheets full of letters understand what is happening in my life.

My meaningful object is a necklace that my mom gave to me as a present before I left to study abroad. It is engraved with the word Family.
Living far away from my family was very tough and having and wearing that necklace made me feel close to them even if we were thousands of kilometers away. I held it close to me during those emotionally tough times and now its one of my most valued possessions.
It helps me stay grounded and it reminds me that my family will always be there for me, even if we fight.

I chose this object because it reminds of my family. We all live in different cities across the globe, and whenever we get together we always play Uno for hours. I also appreciate that people know how to play it regardless of their country of origin. This game has created many special memories that I am fond of reminiscing about.

My meaningful object is my drawing notebook. As it's well known, every architect always carries his drawing notebook around and before I began my career my girlfriend gave it to me with the a beautiful note. She has also given me every sticker pasted on my notebook. The first one I pasted on it is the sticker of one of my old campus buildings, and the rest she has bought them on trips she has gone to. It has been my daily drawing notebook which I carry everywhere. Sometimes I use it as a book for school notes, quick sketches and high quality drawings. It still has many blank sheets of paper and I many ideas to capture.

Hello, my name is Lucía. I chose this photo because you can see my necklace and all my bracelets. The necklace was given to me by my boyfriend and my friends and family gave me the bracelets. For me, family and friends are really important and wearing these pieces keeps them close. Whenever someone gifts me a piece of jewelry I'll wear it every single day until it breaks. I love drawing, history, art and business (specially marketing). I believe businesses are the best way to promote a positive change, impacting in the economy, society and politics.

Hey, my name is Fernando and the meaningful object I decided to show to you is this watch that my mom gave my dad when they were dating (around 26 years ago). It is extremely special to me because of the background it has, how my mom saved for a whole year to give my dad that present. I know it's kind of cheesy, but when I wear it makes me feel close to both of them.
As well, when my dad gave this watch to me the day I turned 18 (along with a very long speech of how I was becoming a man), he made me promise that one day I would gift it to my son when he turns 18 (of course with an even longer speech haha).

My meaningful object is a shirt that me and a group of friends used to use in our soccer team. It is special for me because I have great memories with that shirt on and because it represents values like hope, friendship, team work, etc.

Hi everyone, my name is Rodrigo Wehber, I'm from Mexico City and I love to discover new places all over the world.
My meaningful object is a chain that my grandma gave to me in my 18 b-day. It is special because of the moment in which he gave it to me. Many important things here happening to me and the chain represent a lot of that. It helps me remember past experiences and help me remember some of the reasons of why I do what I do.

Hello, my name is Gerardo Zuñiga, I decided to put this photo because this bracelet is part of what family means to me. This bracelet was given to me by my mother. My dad, my mom, my brother and I have one. I do not care about the real meaning of the bracelet, instead I do care that all members of my family wear it every day. When people ask me about it, I am very happy and proud to say that it is something that represents me and my family.
