My Wallet

My wallet is an orange, blue, and grey tribute to Sonic the Hedgehog. It has a checkerboard pattern with each of the main characters faces repeated throughout and A large patch with Sonic in one corner. Inside, you will find my driver's license, debit card, library card, a piece of paper with my student ID number, a piece of paper with both my bank account numbers, a Hot Topic gift card and reward card, bank and fast food receipts, and $49 in various bills, all face forward.

While maybe not the most exciting or unique things to have in a wallet, it is pretty clear from my wallet that I am a teenage girl. Hot Topic is a store typically frequented by the a younger generation as it is a music and pop culture inspired store. Also, my license will specifically show you that I am only eighteen years old. The student ID number shows that I am a student. The fact that my wallet itself displays a cartoon character, anyone could easily assume that I am young. People could assume that I am just another lazy teenager because of my many fast food receipts. The fact that I never spend more than $3-6 could imply that I also do not have much by the way of income.

There are thousands of things people would miss about me simply by looking through my wallet. I do not have any pictures of my mother or five siblings. There is no evidence of my several best friends. In fact, even my license displays the wrong address because I have yet to change it. My wallet displays only the bottom right corner of the mural that is my identity.
