Why I Chose a Charm Bracelet
When considering a design for my project, I decided to create a charm bracelet because it offers a unique and personal way to express my identity and interests. Each charm represents a significant aspect of my life and personality, allowing me to carry a piece of myself wherever I go.
The charms I selected have specific meanings and connections to my life:
1. NYC: As a native New Yorker, this charm represents my hometown and all the memories and experiences I've had in the city.
2. Pizza: Pizza is not only one of my favorite foods but also a symbol of comfort and joy for me. This charm reflects my love for good food and the simple pleasures in life.
3. Family: Family is incredibly important to me, so I chose a charm to represent the bond and love I share with my family members.
4. Graduation Year: The charm of the year I graduated symbolizes my academic achievements and the hard work I put into my education.
5. Countries: I included charms representing the countries my family is from to honor my cultural heritage and the diversity of my background.
6. Book: Reading is one of my passions, so I added a charm that symbolizes my love for literature and knowledge.
7. Star: The star charm represents my aspirations, dreams, and the belief that anything is possible with determination and perseverance.
Each charm tells a story and holds sentimental value, making my charm bracelet not just a piece of jewelry but a reflection of who I am. It serves as a reminder of my roots, my accomplishments, and the things that bring me joy and inspiration in life.

With my first draft, I started building it. But soon I realized that I needed to change it! After realizing that, I need to change my design and start over. I went back to the drawing board and created a new design.

After finalizing my second draft, I got back to work! Which I loved and was very happy with. Throughout the entire process, it was a learning experience. I learned that it takes time to get exactly what you want.
