“My journal. I have become so attached to it over the years, buying planners and journals to organize my thoughts and actions. Every day I write down details about my day, things I want to do and plan out my assignments and other activities. I have different journals for different purposes, whether it’s doing art, writing down things I am grateful for or just doing a "braindump" of ideas. I really enjoy journalling — it’s a vital part of my life.”
— Trishita, 19, India (currently studying in the U.S.)
“A book because reading is my biggest hobby.”
— Samira, 16, Afghanistan
