Have you ever lost something that was very important to you? (If you have a picture of the item please share it with us)
I have lost a lot of things dear to me, however, stumbling upon this post. The first image that came to mind was that of the laptop charger of the first laptop I ever got. This was a long time ago and it was a sad experience for me then as I was partly entrusted with the laptop as it happened to be that of my father.
I took the laptop to school on this fateful day, kept it in my bag alongside the charger, and hurriedly ran to make the school assembly. After assembly, I checked my bag as I quickly wanted to get some games from my friend before the first lecture began and somehow, I couldn't find the charger.
I began to doubt if I actually brought the charger and began to trace my steps and actions. It was highly unlikely for me to come to school with the laptop and forget the charger, besides I remembered seeing the charger before leaving for the assembly. After a while, it dawned on me that it was missing, not just missing, but it had been stolen.
What emotions did you experience upon losing the item?
I was devastated and lost for words. I asked my classmates if they had any idea where my charger was but got negative responses all through. I remember being almost to the point of tears, frustrated and angry. I had no idea how to explain to my dad I had lost the charger to the new pc he gave me. I knew I would be tagged as irresponsible from that day on and I was scared to report to the school authorities because it was a Tuesday, and students are not supposed to bring their personal PCs to school on any day other than Mondays and Fridays, so that would have meant more trouble for me.
I couldn't focus on classes up till recess, that was when I saw some bit of help.
Did you do anything to find it? What was the result?
I was so sad because it was already obvious they had taken it but were refusing to return it. Eventually, I was forced to report to the authorities and they succeeded in making them return the charger. However, it wasn't the same.
A part had been switched out but no one listened to me. The part was replaced with a fairly damaged one which didn't last two weeks before it was spoilt. Although I had kept my belongings well, I learned a valuable lesson that day.
What steps do you follow to avoid losing such precious items in the future?
Ever since then, I took extra precautions with my belongings in school and only brought my pc on the required dates. On dates I had to default, I made sure I left it with my older brother who was also a senior in another class to prevent such occurrence. I've also learned to not put so much faith in people with your properties. As people would usually do hurtful stuffs and not feel remorse irrespective of your mood or pain.
I hereby invite @willian @karianaporras and @gabrielagg to participate in this challenge

Estimado amigo es bastante frustrante cuando nos prestan algo y esto se nuestra vida o se nos daña sentimos no solo el lamento de que se haya dañado sino la culpa y la vergüenza de tener que afrontar la situación y decir que se nos perdió que se nos dañó. Gracias a Dios al menos el propietario era tu padre y un regaño de un padre no cae tan mal como que te regaña un tercero un extraño. Gracias por compartir con nosotros te deseo éxitos y bendiciones
