Sentimental Object

I have this t-shirt from St. Martin that I got when I was five that is sentimental to me. The bottom of the shirt and the sleeves are cut into pieces. It is white with a sun on the front smiling and underneath the sun it says “We Be Jammin’ Mon.”
I remember when I got this shirt because it was my first visit to St. Martin and my first shirt from there. I was on a family trip with my family while we were shopping at one of the markets in St. Martin. My stepmom brought be the shirt because I really wanted because I liked the sun for some reason. As soon as she bought it she made me put it on. We were in the middle of the market with tons of people around but I still had to put on the shirt. Right when I put on the shirt I realized that it showed my stomach and I started to panic. For some reason when I was younger I hated my bellybutton and never wore anything that came close to showing it. My sisters would always try to make me wear bikinis but I would always wear one pieces. I was an extremely shy kid and this would drive my family crazy. I still have it today and look at it sometimes and look at how small it is and it just reminds me of my family trips. This is sentimental to me because it reminds me when I was younger and how much different I am now. It also reminds me of the fun times my family and I would have together. It also makes me feel sad because we do not go to St. Martin anymore but I still like to keep it as a souvenir from my childhood.
