Description of Artifact (​*The personal artifact may be anything that demonstrates growth, skills, interests, discoveries, and/or abilities
from your experience this last year -- can be school-related or not.)

-​My iPhone 11

Why did you choose this as one of your artifacts?

I chose this because I bought myself the phone and it was very expensive.

How did your experience with this artifact change or impact you?
The experience with this artifact impacted me because I had to work in order to save up
money. I knew that if I wanted a new phone I would have to work hard in order to pay for it.

Did you see growth in your targeted soft skills through the course of working on this artifact?
Explain.
Yes. I believe I grew in self-advocacy because I attended work in order to pay for the
phone. Going to work provided me with self-advocacy since I learned communication skills.

Provide an example of how the skills you practiced or the knowledge you gained via this artifact
may also be used in a career in which you are interested.
Self-advocacy is utilized in the Forensic Chemistry field because I will be assigned my
own projects; I will also have to work with others.
