My personal Artifact is a baseball my son and I caught at the Giants game. It is white, round, has red stitches, and is smooth when new, but when we caught it it was beat up and the blue writing on it was smeared. A baseball is small and light in size. It can be thrown at speeds up to 100 MPH, or hit at at speeds higher than 100MPH, so when playing the game or watching you should be paying attention at all times. A baseball is made of a rubber or cork center, wrapped in yarn very tight, covered by white leather with red stitching around the out side, making it a very hard ball.
When we travel, it’s usually for a purpose. Our more elaborate destinations are still accessible by a five member family in a minivan, nowhere overseas, nowhere more than a 20 hour drive. Endless hours of planning, particularly by my mother and I (my mom calls me the “planner” of the family), go into each extensive trip to ensure we get as much out of our time, and money, as possible. However, on one warm Wednesday evening in Washington D.C., two days into our trip out east, things didn’t exactly go as planned.
At first I was dragging my feet because I was resenting going on this trip because I would have to spend an entire week up in the mountains with no electronics or makeup, two things I deeply rely on in my everyday life, surrounded by fifty
One day when I woke up I was getting ready to go to America. I was leaving with my Dad, Mom, Sister, and my Brother. My family and I are leaving leaving from Germany and going to America. We are going to bring clothes such as shirts, pants, underwear, socks, shoes, and hats. We will also bring soap, food, and other stuff like that to survive in America.
It was a taciturn gloomy morning, the year of 1862. The 12th of September. At the end of it, I might be with my family again or buried someplace underground. It was my time to go into battle as soon as I finish saying goodbye to my loved ones. The tears slid down my wife’s face and my daughters lingered into their mother’s arms to cover their dripping faces.
My artifact is a fox pinch pot. It was handmade by me. Choosing colors, it ended up orange and black. My pinch pot is important because it was something I made. Every pinch made, took valuable time and endless effort.
I have had tough hope once, I had to move to a different state and start to get used to the new place. Moving was hard and took a long time to move everything to our new house. My new house was hard to get used to because it was different and I wasn 't used to it which made it hard to sleep and I had to leave my friends behind and I would have to find new friends. Making new friends was hard because I would be alone until I found new friends and I would have no one to talk to so I would be very quiet. Usually I would always be talking to a friend and I am only social with friends.
The gun goes off…frantic memories run through my mind at an accelerated pace. My adrenaline fumes through my body as I take off. Why Am I here? Life seems to always put us in situations of distraught and disarray, a mixed bag of emotions. This all started a few days back, I was young at the time, not extremely young but young enough to a point that everything was fun.
As excited as I am for my learning abroad program, I know that travel comes with challenges. Everything about this travel experience will be new; I’ve never travelled away from home or even flown on a plane before. Considering the obstacles I’ve had to face in my life, this trip would be a personal triumph, and I know I would return a stronger person. Doing something for the first time naturally makes me nervous, but my excitement is even more powerful than my nerves.
In my backpack or bag or whatever is with me I carry just about anything you could ever possibly need. My friends refer to me as over prepared. although this is true it is not a bad thing due to the fact that I am always ready for anything that life would throw at me. I always carry everything from a mini first aid kit to a toothbrush because you never know if I might need
"Sometimes we need someone to simply be there. Not to fix anything, or to do anything in particular, but just to let us feel that we are cared for and supported." I wish that I had that "someone." I'm always that person for someone else, but when it comes to me, where are those people that I need to show me that I am cared for and supported?
Prepping and Survival: A Look Back Over the Last Few Years Things have changed, and yet many things have remained the same when it comes to prepping and survival. While the threats may have changed, the basic tenets of survival have remained the same. We here try not to give into the hype about how the world is going to collapse tomorrow or on a specific date, such as the Mayan Calendar predicting the end, or that Martial Law has secretly been in effect for years and so on and so forth.
It was the Christmas of 2010, snowy and white with grey skies, it was the first christmas in our new house in Eastlake and we didn 't have much. My auntie Meco, who was favorite person who had ever lived, walked from her hotel down the road with my cousins Cecil and Dennis, They didn’t get much either so everything felt right, didn 't anyone feel jealous about each other’s gifts because we all mainly got the same stuff. Cecil decide to go outside and play with his nerf Gun and encouraged me and Dennis to come play too. “Cuzo yo gun little cuz mine all fye ya up on baby.”
As I was packing, I realized that I had no idea what to pack. I ended up packing a lot because I wanted to be prepared. Packing causes me a little bit of stress sometimes, and I always think I’m not going to pack enough. But it turns out I could have gotten by with only half the stuff I took with me. By the end of the trip, I realized that I hadn’t even worn a lot of the clothes I packed.
Analysis and Reflection on Nazi Revolution “Deliberate before you begin, then execute with vigor”. Hitler followed this folk adage and implements it well. However, his behavior is not in a good faith. It is hard to imagine that an ineducation person took the whole country as a war apparatus to achieve his horrible goal.
