Artifact #1:
Bible/Faith: I grew up in a Christian
home. My parents, while in the military were blessed with being pastors of a
church in Okinawa, Japan. While this was before I was thought of, my parent’s
faith has been passed on to me and I grew up going to church and communicating
with God through prayer often. My thoughts, traditions, holiday
celebrations, and morals are tied to my faith. I have not read through the
entire Bible, however it is one of my goals to do so. I would say as an adult,
my religion has become my foundation as I have continued to grow and discover
who I am and while I have branched out and started a family of my own. My
lifestyle is not necessarily the portrait perfect Christian life, however my
faith leads and guides the way I think and view many things.
Artifact #2:
Family Picture
My
family means the world to me. I am who I am mainly because of my family. Every
thought, every decision, every breath is wrapped around what may affect my
children and my family. I am constantly striving to better myself and make it
so my children are taken care of. My fiancé, the father of my children is my
rock and my best friend, he is such a hard worker and I am so blessed to have
him in my life. He has also introduced me to his wonderful family and they have
opened me into their lives with open arms and have become a big part of my life
as well. My parents are also a huge part of my life and decision-making. Both
of them have strong opinions and are very open to express their feelings If I
ever am in need of advice my parents are whom I go to.
Passport
I
absolutely love traveling. I have been to London and to Spain as well as many
states throughout the U.S. I love to experience different cultures and learn
about the historical features of each city/town. I love to see how
people around the world live their daily lives, what kind of foods they eat,
what their traditions and celebrations are, and how they go from day to day. I
feel that Americans have become so programmed to our way of life. By witnessing
other cultures, I believe that you begin to reflect on yourself more and that
you open your eyes to other possibilities. I want to travel as much as possible and
experience as many
different cultures and countries as I can.
Artifact #4:
EWU: I am the first person in
my immediate family to attend a four-year college and being in school has
always been a huge part of my life. I love learning and I love that Eastern has
opened so many doors and possibilities for me. I have found out more about
myself in the last year and a half that I have been at Eastern than I have ever
before. I am in the Elementary Education program here at Eastern and to be apart
of something that lays out a pathway to my future career is a huge leap for me
and I couldn’t be more proud to be apart of Eastern’s Education program. Education
is such a valuable gift that we are given. I feel very blessed to have been
able to continue my education as far as I have and I am very excited to be able
to become a teacher and to educate my future students.
Artifact #5:
Stack of books: I have always been a fan of
reading for pleasure, but recently books have opened up a whole new set of
doors for me. I am a slow reader, but I love to read and it is a good thing too
because I am a reading major which requires quite a bit of reading. I enjoy
that reading opens up so many possibilities and causes one to think. I also
enjoy that reading allows for an escape from the world as well as reading
provides information and truth that is sometimes shielded from the public.
