Cleaning My Backpack

April 3, 2018

     Hi guys! A couple days ago, I looked at my backpack, laid on the ground. It was pitiful. Even though I'm the type of person who will leave class a bit late so that I can organize my papers, everyone's backpacks eventually grow messy with time and stress, as well as the growing number of homework sheets and papers.
     Another driving reason for cleaning my backpack was that several weeks ago, in Español, my binder split. I opened my binder to grab some binder paper, and the edge of the binder just broke...
My mom offered to go buy me a new binder, but I felt motivated to choose from what I had at home already. I found a sturdy, lightly used black binder my sister had used for high school.

RIP Tho's binder. You were well used and well loved.

     I put in 3 dividers only, because for math and science I had separate folders. I also put in my required 5 dividers for language arts. Lastly, I put in my workbook in my divider. Having a 2 sided divider is convenient for more storage.

A lightly used old binder I found at home.

     I usually put my math worksheets in a big, durable folder, but I considered changing to a more sleek folder for saving space. My sturdy teal folder already measured to 2 inches, while the new see through black folder barely hit a half inch. Even though a bigger folder protects my notes, the black folder helped to conserve space.
     In conclusion, if your binder split, try not to wait a whole month and put it off by using a truckload of tape. Seems like an obvious lesson, so I hope you guys won't follow in my footsteps.

Thanks for reading!
