I BELIEVE STATEMENT WRITE-UP

I believe that everything comes back to you, that Karma is real and you get what you give.
1. I learned about how people have things happen to them after they did a wrong
doing, so this made me believe that Karma is real.
2. The moment that triggered my belief was when I started to have my own
experiences with Karma.
3. I came to believe this gradually after experiences of my own and through different
people.
4. It provides a framework by showing people to do good in life and not bad because
in the end Karma will repay you for what you did whether it was a good or evil doing.

MY I BELIEVE ARTIFACT
I created my artifact by bouncing ideas for a poem off of my girlfriend. We bounced off lines of
what to say and what to rhyme with. The steps I took to create it were 1) finding a statement of
belief, 2) bouncing ideas off of my girlfriend, 3) writing the lines down, 4) bounce more ideas off
of my girlfriend, 5) repeat step 3 and then finally 6) revise the poem. The challenges I faced were
of what to try and say. I knew what I wanted to say for karma, but finding a way to put it was
what was tricky. My artifact represents my belief because Im using similies and metaphors that I
believe to be true as well. I quote well-known musicians, 1 of which is 1 of my favorite
musicians, to help with my artifact and help me with what I believe is true.
