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
