Artifact Club Case Study

One year for Christmas I got a doll. This doll was not ordinary, but extremely ugly and terrifying. I was very unhappy with my present, and demanded for a new one. My parents felt guilty, and of course bought me a new, beautiful doll. The next day, we went to New York to see the Christmas decorations and shop for clothes. To teach me a lesson, my parents gave me a dollar and made me give it to a homeless woman. After giving it to the woman and seeing how happy I made her with one measly dollar, I understood the true value of the ugly doll my parents had given me. I knew from then on to be grateful for what I was given, because it may have been more of a blessing than I had thought, even if it was a small doll. Giving to others and being thankful for the gifts received is a very important lesson in

My artifact is a necklace and it’s so unique and important to me because it has my name on it. And it’s so beautiful, in the middle there is my name with Arabic letters it’s so old so I don’t wear it any more but it still my favorite on of all. I allow keep it in a small box in my bed room near to me so that nobody will play or touch it. I get it when I was 11 years old from a special people in a special event. It from my family they give it to me as a present when I pass my sixth grad, I was so happy that day and until now every time I look at it I remember how hard I worked to pass that school year. It also my first necklace in my life I keep it until now because I love my family. When I feel upset or depressed I tack it out and keep

During the week in Chicago, I grew closer to God, learned how to be a better leader, and learned to put others before myself, which is what helped me become a better person. Serving others that had situations worse than I could imagine was life changing. The idea I could make such a tremendous change in someone’s life while doing activities I enjoyed, opened my eyes to the potentials of serving. After the week ended and I returned home, I wanted to do more for the people around me who were less fortunate. Going into freshman year, I made the decision to volunteer at Urban Vision. I help kids who have newly immigrated to Akron and the United States find items at a holiday shop for their families and themselves. Many of these kids went directly to the necessity aisle, (i.e. toilet paper, laundry detergent, and soaps) to get these items for their families, even though there were plenty of toys for the kids themselves. These kids helped me realize I should be grateful for everything in life, from shelter over my head to the clothes on my

There are many things in our lives that we take for granted, such as food and clothing that are not accessible to a big portion of the population. This surplus of things that most of us have can easily be given to people who are in dire need of them. Personally, I had an abundance of clothes from when I was younger. They were things I was never going to wear again and were simply being stored, unused. Knowing that, I decided to donate the clothes to an organization that will then donate it to people who need it. My contribution was going to help someone out there in need and that felt significant. Food is also something that a lot of people do not have access to. From my peers, I notice that a

Over the course of my analysis I learned a great deal about this artifact using each method individually. However, I believe the biggest impact of this analysis comes from looking at the findings of the two types of criticism combined.

The main goals of the assignment was to introduce myself and articulate a challenge relating to one of the modes of written, oral, visual, electronic, or non-verbal communication.

Explain how you were challenged in creating the artifact. I was challenged by creating this artifact because it required to having a in depth understanding of all essential. To use past experiences to incorporate what you have done to achieve meeting the essential. Also, it required to know each essential to be able to know rather or not you understand the essential. Also, is trying to make sure have the required knowledge, and realizing you don’t have as much of experience and skills pertaining to the competencies. Considering the cultural and religious when providing care.

State what skills you now have because of participating in the artifact development process. The skills I now have is a more complex way of using my critical thinking skills, being able to look at the whole clinical picture. As well as, being a leader able to advocate and protect my patient. Also, being able to understand the patient values, beliefs and cultures and not letting my own personal moral get in the way of dealing and caring for my patient. One thing that I understand a lot better is health care policy. As nurses, we should know about the health care policy to explain it to our patient if they have questions in relations to it, being able to advocate, just in case not being treated properly in accordance to their health care policy.

Many teens, in the United States take advantage of Christmas such as myself. On Friday, December 9th of 2016, I went to the DHR in Geneva, Alabama to wrap Christmas gifts for children in the foster care system. My parents also told me that there are kids that didn’t get anything for Christmas now I know what they meant.

This year, my sister did Dance Marathon with her collage as a way to raise money for children with cancer. Throughout the year she would send various things, such as coloring pages and holiday cards, to her kids as a way to cheer them up. Towards the end of the year she then decided to make pillow cases for the kids and had extra dye left. We also decided to make one for a personal friend that was dealing with health issues and was in the hospital quite a lot. It was during this time that I was able to help her make some for her kids as well as make some that would match my bedroom.

This quarter our small group chose the Coats 4 Kids organization. We were searching for an organization that involves kids, but it was very challenging to find something that worked for us. It was a challenge to find an organization that involved babysitting or tutoring or playing with kids. Some organization that we wanted to work with were, Vanessa Behan Crisis Nursery, Boys and Girls Club, Ronald McDonald House and various elementary schools. But every single organization required background checks and an extensive registration process. Eventually we choose KXLY's Coats 4 Kids. This organization was very important for me because coats are a necessity for every child. One day I was driving past an elementary school and I saw kids walking out of the school, many of them either had no coats or their coats were not zipped upped. This made me sad that so many kids were walking out into the cold with no coats. If a child doesn't have a good coat for the winter, it turns into a domino effect. They could get sick and then that would mean doctor visits. Every child deserves a coat during the winter.

Albert Einstein once said, “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” This quote describes the responsibilities and standards of teaching children. I believe that teachers should be held to high standards for being the foundation of a student’s education and well-being. For my future students, my responsibilities as a future educator include supplementing the growth of a variety of students’ knowledge and creativity, abiding as a role model for students and colleagues, and understanding the issues in the foundations of education.

I have always been a strong advocate for community service and volunteering. One of my most meaningful activities was my participation in the school’s Interact Club. Interact Club is a club dedicated to volunteering and providing help to those who are less fortunate. Based in a suburban neighborhood, it is easy to miss any indications that someone around me is struggling, be it financially or physically. Suburban communities seem to be pretty closed off, and because of this, I joined the club in my school. Many of the activities include donating food through a food drive, fundraising, donating blood, and even cleaning up the environment around us. While it is surprising to see the vast amounts of trash that end up on beaches, it is also devastating

I received a $25 gas card to 7/11 from a group of kids whom I coached in elementary basketball. The job of unpaid coaching required me to drive back and forth to my school quite often and without a job, I found gas money was hard to come by. My team finished in third place, a sweet yet simple finish and I could not have been prouder of them. I spent what felt like countless hours with the kids on the court and in the classroom, as I also tutor them, but was not looking for a reward. The culmination of time and energy spent with my team made me happy enough and to see the growth within them as the season progressed was reward on its own. I cannot say whether it was the kids or parents idea, but I would not have traded the thought for the world.

During a few of our classes we have learned about globalization, and a little bit more about the world we are currently in. This lesson entirely introduced me to the new problems that we are faced with today in current society. This lesson has impacted me a lot. I also learned how much donations and little actions can benefit everyone in every way. When we were putting away jackets I thought a while after about all the people who’d have something to wear this winter. The part was that they didn’t have to donate at all, but people continued to do so. It was the same with the food hamper, although we did not get many donations this year, people still had the thought to bring things in. No one was obligated to bring anything in at all, but merely encouraged. These small actions are going to be able to make others lives better.
