For my object I chose a Football jersey, but not just any, this is my first authentic football jersey, it was given to me by my mom. It was just a few months ago, but I know that it is going to be an important item for me for the rest of my life because it’s from my favorite team, which is Atletico de Madrid. This is a very special item because I’ve always wanted to have one of these, and it's even more special since it's a gift from my mom. These jerseys are very expensive, so seeing my mom make this big purchase really shows how hard she worked to be able to pay for something like this. This also signifies the love that I have for Atletico. It also comes directly from Madrid, Spain, and it is nice to think that this is the same jersey that players use on the football pitch. Overall this jersey has a lot of meaning, and it will be an item I treasure forever and that also shows a connection between My mom and I.
