For some students, their backpacks or purses transform into their own carry-along closets, makeup collections, toiletry bags, or junk drawers. The life of the high school student is fast paced and tireless, and often our bags become our dumping ground. Trashed out with McDonald’s wrappers, poker cards, Asian candies, and tangled wads of ear buds, our bags are tossed carelessly into backseats, against desks, and on worn down backs.

So we invited these students to take a look at all the interesting things they could find within their bags!

Senior Abby Williams scrounges through her tiny purse to find an odd assortment of items.   Among these items is a silver and black bracelet composed of pop can tabs made by a Honduran child and a simple white feather.

In the search through her handbag, she pulled out many common items such as lotion and other toiletries, but these odd items laid upon her desk drew the attention of her peers.

Senior Bailey Parks emptied out his backpack to find some interesting treasures hidden within.

His finds inclue a pair of scissors, an old hackey sack, a roll of Smarties, a beachy turtle necklace and a small plastic bag full of replacement rubber ear bud tips.  While some of these objects seem average, he finds them to be odd and out of place within his own backpack.

Senior Cindy Navarro dumps over her stylish handbag to find the most random objects yet.

Among these is a laminated picture of Jesus (of which she does not know the origin of, but knows it was first found in her wallet), a box of matches(found underneath her car), and a box of old school cap erasers.
