I got this plushie when I was 3 years old. I won it from a game. I didn’t care about it much, but when I was 5, a duck came to our house. It made a nest in my front yard. I liked ducks a lot after that. They have returned for 6 years. They recently stopped coming. I like this kiwi bird because I have always thought of it as a duck. This reminds me of the times I would walk from school and see it nesting. Ducks have really influenced my life. This has always been my favorite duck, or I guess bird. I picked this because ducks have always been a symbol of calmness to me. I took this to a trip in Taiwan, where my mom was born in. It represents me because ducks have always been apart of my life. My liking to ducks has affected my family, too. They like ducks too now.
