What’s one thing in your home you couldn’t live without? Why?

1.
Chocolate
"Ahhh delicious chocolate. I am not as addicted as I once was, but I still love to eat it more than the doctor recommends. I have tried going without it before, the longest I've lasted was a month and it was extremely challenging. I will never understand people who say they don't like chocolate. They must be lying. When I was teaching in Cape Town I celebrated my 23rd birthday. The students and teachers bought me so much chocolate I nearly exploded! I hope they didn't think I was going to share it..." - Caroline Devane

Family
"I cannot replace my family because they have been with me for my entire life. They have shaped and molded me into the person I am today. When I am feeling down, they cheer me up and motivate me jump over the hurdle troubling me. They always encouraged me to try my best, and to always get up when times are difficult. Although we often do get into fights, we will always love each other by the end of the day. Thus, I cannot live without my family." -Akihan
