This artifact is a picture of me in Washington D.C. by the Washington Monument, I have visited it many times due to my proximity to the area, but every visit is memorable. I enjoy learning about the history of America and this monument is a big part of that history. History interests me because I get to learn about the foundations of what created the world and how we got to where we are as a society. Without knowing the past, there would be no guiding tool for the future.
