The object that represents my story is a vest. crafted by my mother. It is a type of vest that can only be found in South Korea, as far as I know. This vest tells my story because it is the first item of clothing that my mom made for me when we were working on immigrating to America. She made this vest as a remembrance of her country. A funny story about this vest is that it still fits me because she made it imagining me wearing it 5 years later. This vest helps me to feel connected to my family because it is the last thing made or brought from South Korea before my family moved to America.
