"The Panda"
The winner of “The Junk of the Week” is Maria Lemos. She is a tutor at Upward Bound. She has a panda that she has had since she was a month old. She says that her panda was bigger than her when she got it. Her panda has always been with her as she was growing up, and it still goes with her everywhere that she goes. When her family moved from Howe to Aberdeen she would hug it when she missed home. When she moved to college her panda came along. She said that she hugs it every night when she is going to go to sleep. She says that her panda means a lot to her, because it makes her feel closer to home and that her parents love her. She has never lost it. She said that her panda has been missing an eye since her junior year in college. She does not know how it disappeared. No matter how old she is. Her panda will always go with her over oceans, up mountains, and through deserts.
