The artifact that is of significance to my academic career is the MyIntent bracelet we received at the Scholars launch. My word was “ACCEPTANCE.” I chose this word because I need to work harder to accept the things that life throws my way. Whether it be a bad grade or a hard project, I need to accept the circumstances and power through. By quickly accepting whatever comes my way, I can pick myself up from my failure and start working toward a success. I wear this bracelet as a reminder that I can always pick myself up if I accept my defeat and learn from it.
Another artifact of significance to me is my MacBook Pro. I use it every day while I’m here at school. I use it mostly to work on all of the homework I have to do. I also use it to relax when I am taking a break from all my class work. These breaks include watching shows or movies on Netflix or watching YouTube videos. I also like to try and play some video games. This way I get a good balance between work and fun. I’m very grateful for my laptop because it gives me so many opportunities to get stuff done.
