Artifact 5

Even though this item to archive is number five on my list, I really valued writing up the module eight assignment. It made me reflect on a pretty significant moment in my life where I acted in a way that was not usually the way I would respond in a situation like this. Over the years I had a lot of time to reflect on how this moment effected me. Having someone you considered your best friend go behind your back and sleep with your then girlfriend is something that happens all too often. Although the pain one feels is very real and can be hard to deal with. Writing this assignment made me realize how much I have grown, while at the same time, made me realize how much work I to figure out mentally.

I am really bad with computers and the program listed in this module to generate a word cloud did not work with my computer. I had to find different websites that could do this, but after a while I found one that worked. It was really hard trying to pinpoint which feelings were going through my head at the time, but I think I got them all listed down. I think it is fitting that the word “feelings” is the biggest one in the word cloud. The moment I outlined in this item to archive definitely had a lot of feelings involved.

Module ten item to archive was an interesting assignment for me because it is something I often thought of to myself. As someone who is usually early to everything, I often find myself waiting on others. So it was kind of fun writing out how long I would wait for certain people to see where my values were. I like to think as I grown with age I have become more patient, but there are certain times where it kills me to wait. It would be really interesting to see what other people wrote for this assignment, because I am curious how patient I am compared to others.

I won’t lie, a big reason this item to archive is on my top five list is because the visual image I chose. Not only do I think it’s funny but sometimes I feel like this is what I look like when I show up early for something. I think I am always early for things because one of my fears is missing out on something. I will sometimes have dreams where I am running around trying to figure out where to go knowing I am running late. I get some pretty bad anxiety whenever I wake up from those kind of dreams. To be honest, I can’t really pinpoint where I learned to be early from.

I thought module seven item to archive was an interesting assignment. Sadly enough, it took me a long time to think of a few of my happiest moments. I guess to put a positive spin on it, I had a lot of moments that made me happy, so narrowing it down might have been the hard part. Nevertheless, it was nice looking back on happy memories because I lot of them were with some really nice people. Like another module I will talk about later, this module made me think of all the life I have ahead of me. It also made me think of all the other happy memories I can make for myself in the future.

I felt kind of bad that a lot of these images I had to google because I personally did not take a lot of pictures of these events. I know some are floating out there but I didn’t know where to find them at the time. Regardless, I did experience these moments and I am kind of glad I wasn’t worried about taking pictures. I think our generation rely way to0 much on our phones. It almost seems like if you did not take a picture of yourself doing something, did you really do it? I know I have the memories of these events that took place and thats all that really matters to me.

Module three item to archive was almost my favorite, but it takes the second place. I really enjoyed getting to discuss something so important to me, which was my bracelet. I’ve worn my bracelet for the past seven years and its still intact. At first glance, I think most people would think I wear it for religious purposes, but that is not the case. My bracelet makes me feel closer to family members I personally have stronger bonds with. When I think of my own make up, I think of my family back at Puerto Rico because they have shaped me to the person I am today.

I think its self explanatory why this would be my visual image, but I thought I would accompany it with an interesting story. I have worn this bracelet for a long time now, and a part of me was ready for it to break at some point. After so long, I assumed wear and tear would be the reason why it broke. I remember one day as I was taking it off, the threads on the bracelet came loose. I thought to myself, “Okay, today is the day it finally broke.” Then, when I tightened it back up, the threads seem fine. I tried to see how the threads came loose in the first place but I couldn’t replicate it. I’m not a super religious person, but that was one of the few times I felt a connection to something bigger than myself.

The module six item to archive was by far my favorite. It was so easy to write about what shaped my childhood and brought back a lot of happy memories of what I enjoyed as a kid. Even though my drawing was lack lusted, to say the least, I still had a really good time typing it up. It was also a really nice way to reflect on my growth and made me realize that I am still growing today as a person. It reassured me that I still have a lot of life ahead of me and I should be grateful for that.

For this module we were supposed to draw something that shaped our childhood. For me, it was sitting at home all day watching Godzilla movies on the Scifi channel before they renamed it to the SyFy channel. This item to archive made me feel like a kid again because I used to draw stuff like this all the time. As you can clearly see, my drawings have not gotten much better since then.
