Put a Ring On It
An item in my life that is important to me is my high school ring. My high school, The Institute of Notre Dame (IND), is one of lots of history and traditions including the class ring. We receive them junior year during a special ceremony with our classmates and parents. The design is the same as the first ring given out and connects all of IND's graduates, past, present, and future. I wear this ring everyday to feel connected to my classmates and my school and also with pride. In Baltimore, where the school is located, where you went to high school is a big deal. When someone asks you where you went to school they are asking about what high school you went to. Wearing this ring is a way to show off where I went to school and show everyone that I'm proud of IND.
