Step 2 of the TELL assignment: Choose 3 artifacts/moments that represent your past (before college), your present (at college), and your (imagined) future (after college): Tell the story of these three moments in specific scenes with telling details. Post draft to personal page.

I guess if i had to pick something to represent my past i would have to choose my first tattoo I got when I was 16. The Tattoo is on my right arm and it says Mr. Robinson. The reason i choose this as my artifact/moment of my past is because of what it represents to me and my family. This tattoo is a family tradion that we have started that all the males get the last name Robinson on their arm we4 they turn 16. To me it represents a proud family who are happuy to be related and wish onjly for the best for family and friends. This tattoo is a symbol to me to represent my family in a positive light and achieve all that I can while capable. on the day of getting my tattoo my uncle picked me up at mymy house and drove me to a tattoo shop on girad ave. of philly. The name of the place was "Popcorn". as I entered my uncle told the guy wat to draw and he drew it up in less than 5 mins. Now it was time tfor the hard part. As I sat in the chair I began to tense up as the needle penetrated. It didnt feel that bad but my arm did hurt for the rest of the day.

The item i would say represents my present I would have to say would be the braclet I wear on my left hand. I recieved it form a friend who gave it to me for the bond that was formed while she directed me in a production for the BU players called "Ruined". To me this braclet encourages me to work hard in anything i conduct myself in and also just reminds me of my passion for acting. I recieved the braclet after performing for the second nite in a row. along with the bracelet came a candy bar which i ate the next night.

The moment i imagine that will represent my future is having my future child. I fill that he/she will represent me and everything I have worked for in my life. The moment of my childs birth will be an induication that I am done my long travel of hard work and that now its time to pass my knowledge and all that i have learned down to the next generation.
