For this artifact, I wanted to talk about my recent experience and progress on the OSU Club Tennis team! I completed my first tournament as a member of the club tennis team and I had such a wonderful time! I have not played in a tennis tournament since high school so this was very new me again. We travelled to Michigan in order to compete against a few big name schools. While we did not win many matches, I learned many valuable lessons through it all! I had the wonderful chance to meet and get close with many new people. We learned how to play well together and how to be very patient. We all bonded over the extremely cold Michigan weather and our new favorite ice cream spot! I am looking forward to more tournaments on this team!

For my artifact I chose a piece of artwork that I completed for my friends and myself. I created this in November during our delayed football season due to COVID-19. I love to get creative on my days off and take some time to make something amazing. I started doing digital drawing this past year and absolutely fell in love with it. I now complete it using my iPad and Apple Pencil. Every time I start a new drawing I feel a rush of excitement knowing that I can participate in something I love so much. I always learn something new with each new drawing. I may learn how to blend better or even how to design a better background. Completing these drawing allows me to give to others while also giving to myself. My friends have been able to use these drawings as gifts and I have even hung a few of them around my dorm room. In the future, I would love to expand my business. While doing drawing for free still provides myself and others with enjoyment, I know that I could use my skills to provide for myself as well.
