Discussion question 5

Hi all!  Your response to this blog should appear no later than midnight on Nov. 23.

In the last discussion you were asked to think about a prized possession that it would be difficult to lose.  Building on this (in a way) imagine that you are told you are moving.  You are moving tomorrow.  You will be moved to a place where you will be doing hard labor.  You will not return (EVER!) to your home.  There are no convenience stores or hotels or restaurants awaiting you.

You will be able to bring with you only one small suitcase.  It must weigh less than 50 pounds. 
What are the 15-20 items you will pack into that suitcase to bring?
If you're really motivated and want to figure out a way to actually pack this bag and photograph it---feel free to attach a photo of it!
Good luck!

    6)durable jeans.
    7)a few shirts

    -chances are it wont be provided.
    11)protein bars
    -neutrition and energy
    12)if cameras were allowed I would take one
