- WSPN’s newest series, Wandering Backpack, asks what would you bring if you had 10 minutes to pack a bag with your most treasured items, knowing you wouldn’t be back for years.
Wayland Swim & Tennis Club cap: I spent every day in the summer at Wayland Swim & Tennis Club.
Cards: I have playing cards to keep me entertained, and I also love playing card games.
Red Sox hat: My family has been Red Sox fans forever, and my hat can keep me protected from the sun.
Stuffed animal dog: It looks like my dog, so it would remind me of him.
Lacrosse ball: I like playing sports, especially lacrosse.
Running watch: I like running, and the watch would help me keep track of time because I don’t like being late.
Water bottle: I carry it with me everywhere.
“Believe” necklace from swimming: It reminds me of my team and how close we are to each other.
Family pictures: My family is really close to each other, so I’d always want to see them.
