Pottery Project

Well I tried to make a bowl, because I’ve seen it was pretty common in ancient cultures.  It doesn’t look like bowl actually and when I was making it I didn’t find any mining to it.  It starts taking mining when I was writing my story about it. The mining I gave to it at the begging was that it was kind of broken and ugly because it belongs to someone that has been in a tragedy. 
Although it is not a very pretty piece of pottery, it still can be beautiful to the eyes of someone how understands its background.  The meaning I gave it in the end is that it is a representation of not judging things by its cover. When I look at it reminds me of that, and I hope that people see it can understand it.

“Never, Never Give Up”
I totally agree with the statement, “Never, never give up”.  Because if you give up you would never ever achieve what you want. People think that you fail when you don’t accomplish a task at the very first shot, but I think failure happens when you give up.   If you fail at a task, just keep trying and remember this quote by Thomas Alba Edison, “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
I agree and support this statement for many reasons.  First, because I believe life is about going for what you want and chasing your dreams, and if you give up you would never achieve them. Also because it is by failing that we learn. Giving up takes away the opportunity of learning; life is also about learning. Imagine that every time you begin a new project and obstacles appear in your path you give up, do you think you would ever accomplish something in your life? Of course you wouldn’t.
Giving up can become a habit. You may start thinking it is the easier path to follow.  Why go for the easy one if you can have an amazing experience if you go for the hard one? Things would never be easy all the time.  There is always a big or small obstacle or complication but that is how life is; you can’t go giving up every time. If you really want something go for it one hundred percent.
Another reason that makes me support this is the feeling you get when you were about to give up, but you didn’t and you accomplished it.  This is the most amazing feeling. Giving up takes away that and I think everyone should experience that feeling many times.
Keep in mind this every time you feel like giving up:
