For many years, we've been told that the pen is mightier than the sword, but has anyone ever stopped to think about the common pencil?

The pencil, weather wooden or mechanical, can be used for many things other than writing.

It was a dark grim morning, storm clouds eclipsed the sky like a blanket. But even so, you still had to got to work. Luckily, you had already finished all the important work orders that had been assigned to you. So you were left with literally nothing to do. As you sat at your desk you began to observe the items on your desk. Your laptop, your clip dispenser, tape dispenser, and your pen and pencil holder. You had a lot of them do to your job. Until your eyes averted to an old picture frame. It was a picture of your family. Your dad was sitting next to your big brother, and you were on the floor of the living room drawing. You were around six in the photo. The photo got you thinking about your past, people in general sees a pencil as just a common writing tool. But you have used them for something completely different.

When you were in Pre-K you saw everything as an adventure. You'ld use a pencil as your magic wand, slaying evil that rears it's ugly head. When you were in middle school you found yourself doodling on everything. Everyone had told you that 'drawing' wasn't actual art like painting. But you didn't care, a sketch artist's pencil is a painter's paintbrush. At the same time, your brother had joined the school's band as the drummer. You always sat to the side and practiced keeping up with the beat. Using two pencils as the drum sticks.

By your freshmen year you had got your first volunteer job at the local zoo. You were only support to clean the cages and feed the animals. Unfortunately, while you were feeding one of the copperhead snakes, it must've mistaken my hand as food. After being rushed to the hospital, you wouldn't been able to wear any rings for a while. So instead, you tapped the ring to your pencil as a makeshift ring holder.

You let a long sigh, a large smile had stretched across your face. You hear your name over the intercom to report to the meeting room. As you began towards the meeting room, you noticed that you forgot to tie up your hair back. You took one more look on your desk and took one of the pencils and used it tie back your hair. After that wonderful flash-back, the sky looked a lot brighter.
