When you are an exchange student with Rotary, you have to have two of the most important things when you come. A navy blue jacket, and pins. I thought that I wouldent be giving alot of pins away or recieving many. I did not take to much time to think about pins untill the first Rotary meeting where I saw for the first time a jacket completly full of pins... it was love at first site. Since then I have become a Pin addict. I can never have enough of them, they are my hobby to collect now, and each time I get a new pin I proudly put them on my jacket. I have pins from all over, from Italy, Austria, Mexico, Brasil, States in the U.S, I have some from Argentina, Equador, China, Tiwaan(spelt that wrong)... well you get the point. They are all my babies, and I even go out and buy them myself soemtimes when I visit a place I want to remember. I have quite a few so far, but I can never seem to get enough of them. The best part about Rotary meeting arent the old and boring things we do but when we trade pins. Everyone gets our their sacks of pins and starts trading. Its like pokemon cards, or action figures, that when you trade them off for a better one, or one that you dont have you feel accomplished.
When I first got here I never gave them a second thought, and thought it was pins were dumb to collect and its not like I would ever need them... but boy was I wrong. Now I cant seem to have enough of them. They are a memory of the people I have met, the places I have gone, and the things I have seen. I even make pins from souvineers that I get from places.
So I am officially a Pin Fanatic...
