Who doesn't love Winnie The Pooh? I mean he is one of the greatest role models out there. He's a loyal friend to all his neighbors, is always willing to lend a helping hand and says some very inspirational stuff. One of my favorite quotes from Winnie The Pooh, “If you live to be one hundred, I hope I live to be one hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.” Isn’t that the sweetest thing you’ve ever heard!?!

| My Costco size Pooh Bear!!! |
Pooh Bear is the coolest bear out there! I mean he's a fat bear who eats all the time and still is 100% self confident. And he has the awesomest friends ever! (Except they're a close second to my strangely awkward friends.) He has so many friends and is constantly making new ones. There's Owl and if he was a human, he would out smart everyone. And did you know Piglet's a boy? Yeah well he's pretty cool, he likes adventures. There's Gopher who like to explore and Rabbit who’s the all time famous party pooper. Then there's poor Eeyore... He always looses his tail and is always sad but then by the end of their adventure all of his friends cheer him up! And of course there's T I double GG E R. He's just too cool for words so I'll leave it at that.
I was younger you could say I had a small obsession with Pooh Bear... and I happened to find the evidence the other day.
1. Physical Evidence
a. My room was 100% Winnie The Pooh based and the other day we even found my crib set and everything! (I even have a Winnie The Pooh back scratcher, it’s the greatest thing ever invented!)
b. I found many, many, MANY VHS Pooh movies
c. Along with extravagant amounts of Pooh Books
d. I had tons of Pooh Bear and all his friends stuffed animals and even one that’s almost as big as those huge Costco bears! (See collage above)

2. Photographic Evidence
a. Countless pictures of me wearing a Pooh Bear hat and I sure did look stunning in it! I wish I had it just so I could be cool enough to say I own a Pooh Bear hat. But sadly, I don't. (See collage to right)
b. When I was younger, I swear the only clothing I owned was a dress or a Pooh Bear T-Shirt. And I think I owned just about every Pooh T-Shirt ever made. I was just that swavey.
3. Letters To Pooh & All His Friends
At Camp Daggett they give you the spectacular opportunity to send letters to Pooh Bear and all his friends. Of course, I was all over the idea of sending letters to all of them. Just three years ago when I returned to camp, I was determined to send letters to each and every single one of Pooh and his friends. We all sent tons of letters and we would check Pooh's mailbox thousands of times a day to see if they wrote us back. I got multiple letters back from each of Pooh's friends! And I found out some of their deepest secrets! (Don't tell anyone, but I still have each and every single letter!)
Okay so this upcoming information is TOP SECRET, you have to pinky promise not to go and tell anyone! Who am I kidding, this is on the internet, everyone and anyone can know! So I would say, my Winnie The Pooh obsession... hasn't exactly ended. Just this past summer I bought a new Pooh Bear sweatshirt! And the best part is, it's a size 2XL so it's just like a wearable hug! I may or may not wear it in public every other day...
I also still have all the stuffed animals, HVS tapes, books and even the crib set! Sadly I don’t have the clothing or the hat. And just two years ago in a tech class we had to research the history of anything you wanted. Can you guess what I choose? That's right! The history and creation of Winnie The Pooh!
So I know not every ninth grader out there would willingly admit they’re still obsessed with Winnie The Pooh. But you know what? Those are the things that make me different and make me, me.
