5 Artifacts in Class

This week in Social Studies we had to bring five artifacts that we felt best describes or symbolized us culturally. At first I had no idea what to bring in. This activity was really hard for me. I don't know if what I brought in really described me culturally, but they described what is most important to me. I brought in a current picture of my wonderful family. A five generation picture that we got taken a few months before my great grandma passed away. This picture really means a lot to me, because I wasn't the only great grandchild who had a baby, but I was the only one who took the time to get a five generation picture. It was my dad's grandma, so in the picture was my great grandma, my grandma, my dad, my baby girl when she was only 3 or 4 months old, and myself. I really treasure this picture. I also brought in a quilt that my great grandma made. I didn't get it until after her death. My grandma keeps handing them out, whenever a great grandchild has a baby, so now I have two of them. I brought in a wedding picture of my husband and myself, which is in a very nice picture frame from my aunt. The last artifact that I had was my wedding ring. Being happily married is very important to me. I believe that it is the foundation to my family. Plus my husband is my best friend, and the most important person in my life. We have been together for almost 9 years, and married for over 7. I wouldn't be who I am today without my family. All of my artifacts all have the common theme of family and marriage. That's what best describes me.
