Steps to Saving

Finding materials for a fun and interesting journal or personal history is easier than you may think! Just set aside a box and start saving. Here's a list of the things you might want to keep:

Priesthood ordination certificates and Duty to God booklets, or Young Women certificates and Personal Progress booklets

Ticket stubs or programs from movies, concerts, and shows

A copy of your report card

Your class schedules

Newspaper clippings of important events

School photos of yourself and your friends

Calendars, daily planners, and to do lists

Your best school papers, especially if they're personal essays

Copies of speeches or church talks that you give

Maps from amusement parks or historical sites you've visited

Funny sayings from people you know, like a college quote wall

Letters and cards that you receive

Little mementos from you life, like swatches of cloth or other items that store well and are small or that can lay flat

Printouts of blog posts, good IM conversations, and e-mails
