My artifact is a watch which was given to me by my parents three years ago. This is an Italian brand watch called “KLASSE14”. This watch’s color is white and gold. It’s characteristic and attractive shape. The shape of this watch’s body is almost round but it is a little bumpy and octagonal. The hands of the clock are slightly bent. The width of its belt is a little narrow. There are no numbers on the clock. The clock part looks like a shallow jar. The belt part is light, but the clock part is heavy. This can be used in various situations. It’s fashionable.
This artifact is a watch my parents gave me on the day of the high school entrance ceremony about three and a half years ago. At that time, I failed to take the high school exam and was very depressed. There are two reasons why I was so depressed. First, I went to a cram school and studied hard, but I couldn't go to the public school I wanted to go to most. Secondly, my friends who were close friends and took the entrance exam for the same high school passed. I was disappointed and I was really sad to be in a different high school. However, when I got this watch from my parents, I changed to a positive thought to do my best. I always took it with me and used it for important errands and tests. Also, when it was difficult to balance lessons and study, I felt more energetic by seeing it. I felt that wearing or carrying this watch would give good results, so I used it many times. Then, the belt part of the watch deteriorated steadily. However, this watch is so important to me that I also used it during college entrance exams. After that, I was able to enroll in this university, where I had been hoping for. I was very happy. I thought that this watch helped me to live my high school life, so I felt it was very important to me. On the other hand, this watch is already tattered. My parents said “We would buy a new watch to celebrate my passing.” However, I said “I didn't like the new watch because the watch I was using was good.” Then, my parents asked me, “Do we go to have only the belt replaced?” In addition, “Is it really okay to replace only the belt?” I said soon, “Yes!” At a later date, I had only the belt replaced. Then, I wore a beautiful watch at the entrance ceremony of the university. At first I didn't know anybody at all and I was full of anxiety, but now I have a lot of friends. I have it every day and go to school. Therefore, I feel that I can have a happy college life. This artifact reminds me of my hardships and encourages me. As you can see, this artifact, which is full of memories and is a spiritual aid, is very important to me.
The Japanese are strict about time and many of them spend their time worrying about time. In summary, clocks play a very important role in our lives. The YouTuber is planning to meet on time without looking at the clock, but it’s difficult. Therefore, understanding the clock is very important in our lives. However, it’s difficult for us to take it because clocks are heavy. We take watches more than clocks. Also, a smartphone's clock is useful for us, but we can’t know the time when we can’t use our smartphone. For these reasons, Watches are indispensable in our lives.
In Japan, there is a problem that many people get depression. Studies have shown that about 6 out of 100 people in Japan experience depression in their lifetime. This is three times the result of the USA. Anyone can easily get depressed with little things. It takes a lot of time to overcome it, but the support of those around you is important. When I failed to take the exam, I was quite depressed, but thanks to the support of my family, I was able to recover. Therefore, we need to be considerate and cherish our family and those around us on a regular basis so that we have someone to help us in case of trouble.
