I keep a plastic box underneath my bed, which I decided to do at least six years ago when I decided to rearrange my room. I felt as though it was time to put away certain things in my room at the time that in my opinion appeared to be juvenile. I’ve known all along that the box still existed underneath my bed however until this assignment I never decided to open in. After opening it, a flood of flashbacks filled my mind! Inside it, I found my old, American Girl Doll, named Samantha.
Growing up I always played house and had tons of dolls as my children however, Samantha was different. I knew how much more expensive she was compared to my other dolls; therefore I took greater care of her. Inside the box I also found a ton of her outfits that I would dress her in. I received Samantha for my eighth birthday and for almost every occasion after that I would receive different outfits and accessories for her. Sometimes, when I would go to craft shows with my mom and grandma I would buy some of the knock-off American Girl Doll outfits that were sold at stands (they looked just as nice!). It would be completely inappropriate as a 21 year old to still be playing with her childhood dolls, however seeing her brought back a ton of wonderful childhood memories.
