Claire Fears

Hello, my name is Claire Fears and I am a DLab first-year student. This will be my second year at One Stone and in these recent years, I have learned so much about myself, especially when we started working on our TPoppers and our vision statements. The main subjects on my TPopper includes things like medical studies, baking, photography, and art. I spent a lot of time trying to think of what I should put on this and I found out a lot about myself. For my vision statement, I chose something that was special to me. I trusted the process and I was able to come up with “To Inspire Others With My Work.” This has all led up to what it means to do good: the practice of empathy and passions. For my artifact, I wanted an art piece to be based around my DLab project from this fall, which was “Ending All Preventable Deaths Under The Age Of Five” This had me wondering about all the good the healthcare workers do for us. My artifact is a drawing of a nurse in full PPE gear sitting on a bed. I feel like they have done so much good for the world, especially right now, and they don't get enough credit for it. I drew this because I wanted to show the emotion that some of these healthcare workers might be feeling. I believe that doing good is the reaction you get from whatever happens rather than the actual action. However in a lot of cases doing the action can do a lot of good too, I think it just depends on how you look at it. I hope that this can inspire others to show their gratitude or help those helping us.
