Main Points

  • Item is a button
    • Rather plain button and comes in a small, cheap jewelrybox
  • It was given to me by my mother
    • She got it from a friend she worked with who was the initial recipient of it
  • It’s a button given to winners of a Nobel Prize
    • My mother didn’t win it, but her friend did. She won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in either 2018 or 2017
  • I consider it a token of my parent’s willingness to give up things in their own life for me
    • I didn’t understand at first why my mother gave me it considering its value as well as how it was originally meant for her. Later understood she does this kind of thing a lot for me.
