I am Lukas McTeague, my artifact represents my passion for art, a connection to nature and a love for creativity. These relate to my t-popper in that I have had an extremely important and strong connection to nature; these photos were taken in nature and were inspired by it. To be good to me is to make sure that I leave the world a better place than I found it and always strive for perfection even if I can never reach that, appreciating nature and leaving it better than I found it is extremely important to me. This artifact represents the good I want to do because I want to live with nature the best I can and it breaks my heart that we are hurting its ability to better this world every day. I hope this artifact can inspire others by looking at nature from a new perspective and I hope it will inspire them to give it a second glance. I've learned a lot about who I am over these weeks and I will be learning a lot more, One Stone has given me a sense of community I haven't felt in a very long time and that has helped my confidence and wellbeing grow. As to what my purpose is, I haven't figured that out yet and I probably won't for a while. My passions are what drive me and hopefully I can leave this world using those passions to better where I came from.
