My story is based on a hat that my grandmother gave me before I came to New York. I chose this object because it's  one of the objects that I still have from  the Dominican Republic. This object is important and special because my grandmother gave it to me before I came to the USA. She brought it in the summer of 2019 from New York because she lives here in New York and she went to the Dominican Republic   over the summer and gave me the hat. The hat was black and had a flower on it. I only have a picture of it when I was in the airport I don't actually like this hat because it ugly for my liking  but i still kept it because of the memory for me the hat represent moving from dominican republic  to usa which it was a big change for me because of the weather change, the language, and the way people act in this country.
