Daily Prompt: Prized Possession

Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a child. What became of it?

As a child I was not attached to one single item, but many items…  I use to go around collecting various items from the street…  I wanted to be a teacher and I use to put all my prize collections in a box which I kept under my bed.  I would pick-up gum wrappers to use as pretty paper for art projects and also would cut out pretty pictures from magazines for the same purpose…  I would keep decorative pencils and pens in my box to share with the class…  I would take wood clothes pins and paint it and keep in my box…  I can’t remember what else I kept in there, but it was a shoe box full of goodies…
