During my life I have had different objects of value. From familiar objects of value, like toys, teddy bears, and sport balls. These objects were acquired during friendships, events that create memories. Some could express emotions or help us to remember easier and faster. Other objects are more fun and playful. There are three important objects of practical value which are my volleyball, my smart phone, and my electric guitar. My volleyball is valuable because I use it to play and work out. I got this volleyball by my sister Jazmin when I was sixteen. Now this ball is part of my life, I love to play volleyball which is my favorite sport, I play with this ball every day and it is really symbolic; so that ball makes me remember my best times on high school for example when I was the captain of the volleyball team. One strong moment was when the first tryouts for the team were, and I use that ball. It’s an MVA 200 by Mikasa in color blue and yellow. Likewise, it’s a common ball for international games especially on the Olympic Games 2012 .Also it is very used by the FIVB competitions as the volleyball championship , world grand prix, world cup ,and youth championships. I have used this ball for a long time and I work out a lot with it. Also, I have used it to go to the beach with my family which is really cool. One example of these vacations was when my family and I went to camp in Rosarito, Mexico, and my cousins and I played some scrimmaches with other families and we won

Jean-Paul Sartre extended these beliefs to not only tangible goods but to intangible goods, such as the possession of a skill.
