Ronan Kelly

My name is Ronan Kelly. I'm a dlab student at one stone and I'm interested in and enjoy things like working with technology. The artifact I've chosen for this was my first D-lab project about music's effect on alzhiemers. What i think it means to do good is to help people and do thighs that affect people in a positive way. An example of doing good would be helping someone find something important that they have lost or volunteering at a shelter. It doesn’t have to be something big to be good. You can do good things with small actions as well. Anything can be good as long as you aren’t harming the environment or people around you. The way my artifact reflects this is that we were trying to do good by finding a way to improve quality for those with alzhiemers. This breaks my heart because it's sad to see people suffering and dying while slowly losing their ability to function as human beings. It's sad to watch and i've seen it happen to a few people including my grandfather which is why i wanted to research this topic. The good I want to do in the world is to improve their quality of life and make things better and easier for them. I hope this artifact can inspire others to want to help those with Alzheimer's as much as I do. Some of the things I've learned about myself over the past 10 weeks is that I really enjoy working with technology and designing things. For my last 2 immersions I have used technology to design different things whether it's a game on unity or  room in blender. I really enjoyed it and hope to have more experiences like it. Another Thing i learned about myself is that I really sympathize with and feel bad for people less fortunate than me and that I want to help them in any way possible.
