This a mechanical pencil, not just a mechanical pencil but a special one. There are endless reasons behind why this mechanical pencil is special. One of them being the colors, the dull gray cap represents the struggles my father went through as a young lad in India, such as getting beaten by a bamboo stick for not wearing his helmet when he was riding his biking and instead wearing a puny gray cap, which is what the gray cap on the mechanical pencil reminds me of. Another being the vibrant red color that the clip obtains, if I look at this red clip, it’ll remind me of my red bracelet that I wear on my right wrist which will remind me of god always being there for me. One vital reason that this mechanical pencil connects to me and my family is that it helps me obtain stunning grades in my classes. My mechanical pencil helps me with my grades by providing clear handwriting that I could use on my assignments, and if my teachers could easily read it, then that means I’ll get a good grade on that assignments depending on the teacher. And if I get good grades, I’ll get more time in my family’s house.
