Three artifacts that would describe my life


Artifacts give us a good understanding about what happened in the past and give us a good idea about what life was like back then. Like I am studying the 1800's today, people will be studying the 2000's. This is the period of life in which I am growing up. Would you want them to find something bad about the time period you grew up in or something good? If someone were to find things from my life, I would hope it'd be something good.

If someone were to find an artifact from my life, it would be my basketball. Basketball is my favorite sport. It is a huge part of my life and I don't know what I would do without it. When I am not playing in a game, I am either practicing or watching. I am thankful for having the game in my life because of all of the great opportunities it has given me. AAU basketball has given me the opportunities to work with new coaches and meet new players who I have became friends with over the years. I find it fascinating to watch the girls on my team and look at their strong and bad points while playing compared to mine and my other team mates. I love going to different tournaments all around New England because it gives me the opportunity to travel with my dad and basketball is something that we bond through. If they found a basketball it would allow them to see who I am and how basketball affects my life.

If someone were to find another artifact from my life besides my basketball, it'd be a binder of some sort from school. This would represent all of the schoolwork that I do. I'm not the type of student that understands mostly everything so; I ask a lot of questions just to make sure. Because of this, I am constantly doing my work or studying so I don't receive a bad grade. I don't slack off because I believe that if you do your schoolwork and get good grades, you'll most likely have a promising future. This would show the people that in the past, people really strived academically, like me.

The last artifact that someone would find from my life would be a piece of clothing from my closet. My mom always says I have too many clothes but it's because I can never make up my mind about what I want to wear. I like to buy clothes because I find shopping to be very calming. Along with being calming, it can be very fun if you go with a friend or a group of friends. Seeing new designs and trends in the store really amazes me. When I'm in the city or walking around town, I am constantly analyzing peoples outfits and saying, "Oh, I like that" or "Ew, what was she/he thinking?"
