I remember the story of my first watch.
I was fourteen years old. I never had a,
a watch and all of my friends who were,
considered, \'drug dealers\', at the time,
were wearing cheap fake gold,
twenty-five dollar watches from the,
\'Swap Shop\'. They were, \'supposed\', to,
look like million dollar watches. Still,
what made these watches special was,
that they all had different color dials:
dark red, dark green, black, dark blue,
and more. I wanted one so much.
Unfortunately, I could not afford one of,
the twenty-five dollar watches. One,
day I was walking along the sidewalk,
and I noticed a rubber digital Homer,
Simpson watch in the street. It could,
not have been more than five dollars.
So I picked it up, and I began to wear,
it a few times to school. Shortly after,
I began proudly wearing my Homer,
Simpson watch that I found, there,
was a time that I went to the, \'Swap
Shop\' with my brother and my good,
friend who was actually more of my,
brother\'s friend. Nevertheless, both of,
them had a lot of cash on them, and,
I had none. My good friend must,
have noticed the watch that I was,
wearing because he said, and I quote,
\"Dude, you have to get rid of that,
watch. You look crazy\". I did not,
realize that we were by the watch,
section. He asked if I liked a certain,
watch, and I did. Without me asking,
for it he bought it for me. As soon,
as it was in my posession, I took off,
my digital watch and put on my new,
analogue watch. As soon as I saw a,
garbage, I through my Simpson\'s,
watch away. I loved my new watch. I
was extremely greatful for it. The,
price was around one-hundred,
dollars. It looked exactly like real,
gold with diamonds. Of course it,
was not. Still, it was a beautiful,
rectangular watch with a, \'gold\',
bracelet and white dial. I kept that,
watch for two years, and wore it,
everywhere. Although I cannot,
remember how exactly I lost it, I am,
going to imagine that I was very,
upset when I did. I have worn,
different watches since then, but I,
shall always remember that,
one-hundred dollar watch.
