My artifact is a flat basketball from when my mom played basketball in college. She played basketball for a division 3 school. She was shooting in the gym one day and she popped the ball because it was used too much. She brought it home with her and it is in our house. This connects to me because my family is very into basketball because of my mom’s childhood connection to it. Now, my brother and I play basketball because we grew up with parents that encouraged it. This basketball represents our family’s connection to basketball and it tells the story of what basketball means to my family.
