5 Things I would grab if my House Burnt Down

If my house were to burn down and I could only grab 5 things I would definitely grab my dog, my Sidney Crosby autographed game used jersey, my XBOX 360, all my jerseys that I have, and lastly grab some chips and pop and enjoy the show. My dog is pretty much part of my family and while it lacks any intelligence to escape on its own I would have to grab it because I would hate to have it go down with the house. I've had my dog for 5 years and love it just as much as anyone in my family. There is no doubt that I would grab my dog first if my house was on fire. In 2006, I won a Sidney Crosby Team Canada autographed jersey. It was quite amazing that I won it considering it was a raffle draw out of all of Canada. Sidney Crosby is a young superstar in the NHL who has already captained his team to win the Stanley Cup. The jersey is worth around $3000 and it will only get higher as Crosby continues to excel and accomplish more in his career. Thirdly, I would grab my XBOX 360. When I say that some might get the impression that I am a huge gamer which actully isn't true. While waiting for the insurance to kick in and get all the stuff you lost in flames back you need something to keep you entertained in your hotel. With an XBOX you can never get bored. You can play shooters like Halo 3 and sports games like NHL 10. If my house were to burn down I would have to have my XBOX to keep my mind off all the things that I lost in the fire. All my life I have collected jerseys and wear them to school quite often. They mean a lot to me considering I have payed over $200 for some of them to get customized with my name or my favorite players name on the back of them. I am one of the only people to wear sports jerseys and I am proud to have my own style and to be different then others. The jerseys are usually from cities that I've visited or cities that have sports teams that I follow. They mean a lot to mean considering that I plan to one day have a career in sports. While they may not protect me or benefit me in anyway, every time I throw one on I get a jolt of confidence. Lastly, if my house were to burn down I would have to grab some chips and pop and perhaps grab a lawn chair from outside and watch my house burn down. While it would be emotional to watch my house which I have spent 13 years of my life in burn to ground. It would be a crazy show watching your house fall apart while firemen rush to do there very best to put it out. My family obviously insures our house so with the insurance we could build a bigger more modern house that we could live in. The chips and pop well who doesn't like some snacks while watching something entertaining. In conclusion, if my house were to burn down the five things I would grab would be my dog, my Sidney Crosby Game Used autographed jersey, my XBOX 360, my jerseys, and some chips and pop to eat while watching my house burn to ashes. It would be sad but I do have five things that are important for me to have.
