The Untold Story of My Most Treasured Material Possession

I used to dream of owning an iPhone. Actually, I've been asking with my parents to purchase
me the phone yearly, however they always told me that I can acquire it after I find my own work.

The year before, two months before my 18th birthday, I convinced my mother to get me an
iPhone. She promised that she will purchase an iPhone for my gift on my eighteenth birthday.
Unfortunately, the funds intended for the purchase of my iPhone were diverted to the construction
of another house. They informed me that my present will be delayed. I waited for how many
months, but nothing happened. I was so sad at the time, but I know it's okay since the money wasn't
squandered for nothing.

Until November of the same year, mom handed me cash to invest given that at the time, I was
running a little business by selling Trend Jersey Shirts. I'm very happy because I made a significant
amount of cash selling such stuff.

Having made such a large sum, the thought of purchasing an iPhone crosses my thoughts. Then
I started looking online to see which model had the best camera/video quality. Then, because
almost all of my picks were prohibitively pricey, I went with the lowest one because all I thought
about was the video/camera performance.

I looked for legitimate iPhone resellers since the price is cheaper compare to the apple store.
Then I was able to found one. As I was typing the customer information, I really felt excited to
touch it even though it wasn’t shipped out. Don't get me wrong, I've touched an iPhone before,
however I wasn't the owner, so touching something new which you purchased feels very different.

Upon the delivery of the iPhone to me. I can't get enough of it, and I've tried all of the
applications, particularly the camera. I refuse to let anyone touch it since it's too precious. If you
were to ask me to convey how I felt at the time. I would describe myself as happy.

This phone serves me well during online learning, particularly when I have a project that needs
to be documented. Because of the video quality and with that, I obtained excellent grades on my
documentary project.

When I was in junior high school, every time we had a film project in our school, we would
always end up being a little upset, not because the material wasn't nice, but because the video
quality was poor, and several portions in the film were fuzzy. We understand that we are not
professionals to be concerned about it, but all we want to do is give our all so that we can be
deserving of a perfect grade.

Let me share to you how happy I was last Christmas. You may assume that I got a lot of presents
why I am happy last Christmas but the answer to that is No. I was happy at that moment because
I was finally able to snap a high-quality photo of my family together with my neighbors, who were
having a good time.

After that day, when I look through my phone's gallery, I can see how delighted they are in the
image. I was capable of capturing moments that I will never forget thanks to the use of this phone.

Aside from its video quality, I also able to utilize this phone to research anything on the internet,
especially if my brother does use my desktop.

Lastly, similar to how other phones work. I was able to utilize this to connect with distant
relatives. I was able to talk with and see my distant cousins through video call. To be frank, my
cousins and I only got to meet up once in every four years, sometimes more, which is why
whenever I missed them, I would contact them with the use of my phone.

However, if you're going to ask me if having material possessions is a negative thing. I would
say maybe yes and maybe no because I believe there’s a good and also bad on being materialistic.

As for me, who bought an iPhone. Even though I treasure it I would still say that it just gives
me a temporary happiness. It makes me happy when someone compliment/ appreciation for its
camera/video quality but when the compliment is gone. It becomes back to normal.

To end this essay. I hope that at the end of the day, some people will realize that this material
things are not the most beautiful things in life but the people, places, memories, and smiles are.
