The image displayed above is a totem pole. Totem poles were towering statues commemorating historical events, ancestors, or people. The poles were initially created by the First Nations of the Pacific Northwest.

The pillar that would fit the Totem Poles would be Leadership as the Totem Poles represented the rich past and monumental leaders in the Pacific Northwest. The poles to me describe how lessons can be learned from past events as they can mirror current issues and how great leaders from either past or present must be looked upon, supported, and created. A high honor of the Pacific Northwest was to be carved in a Totem Pole, immortalized in presence and actions. To be a leader, one must think in new ideas that benefit a community with everlasting changes to its individuals.

Community Service Learning: John Deere Plow

Community Service Learning: John Deere Plow

# data[].attributes.body
While John Deere was an unsuccessful blacksmith from Vermont, he was able to create a revolutionary plow that made farming more efficient in the late 19th century.

The pillar that best corresponds with the plow would have to be Community Service Learning as the plow can serve as an instance of hard work and efficiency to developing a farm that supplies a community. The plow is a metaphor to me as an individual as I believe myself to be an efficient community member when I service the issues of those who desire assistance. The plow helps nurture a farm and plant seeds for the growth of crops. Similarly, an active community member can help create a better community by performing tasks for the unfortunate, furthering the growth of people through ones actions.

Community Building in a Diverse Society: Strong Woman and Child

# data[].attributes.body
The art piece displayed above is that of a strong woman holding the hands of a child. The piece was made as an illustration of the feelings that Japanese-American artist Yasuo Kuniyoshi felt towards his wife Katherine Schmidt who was strong willed enough to leave her wealthy family to be with Kuniyoshi.

The pillar that the art piece reminds me of is Community Building in a Diverse Background as depicted with the Strong Woman guiding the Child through the streets of France. The piece displays to me how people such as myself who come from a diverse background should help those in need regardless of the diverse backgrounds. The painting is a compelling example of helping build a community as despite being a seemingly uncommon sight, the strongly built woman which Kuniyoshi drew from a circus is going out of her way to help guide a french child through their hands.

Scholarship: Record placed in Voyager 1, Sounds of Earth

# data[].attributes.body
The Sounds of Earth record is a collection of 122 images, spoken greetings from 55 languages, and multiple music pieces. The record was placed in the Voyager 1 probe and is intended to allow extraterrestrial life to learn about Earth.

The pillar that represents the record is scholarship as even though the contents of the record are seemingly simplistic sounds and images from earth, it is the farthest reaching  physical form of the depiction of humanity that exists. The record represents to me the beauty of human intellect through simplicity and is an inspiration to continue pursuing academic excellence. A small record of earth that could one day be discovered by extraterrestrial life is truly something that can serve to remind one that even one of the greatest technological achievements are straightforward but can have a tremendous impact.

Citizenship: Tatanka Iyotake, Sitting Bull

# data[].attributes.body
The picture depicted above is that of former Indian chief of the Sioux people, Tatanka Iyotake, also known as Sitting Bull. Iyotake would lead his people to a defiant resistance against the U.S. Army as they began to take over land and ruin Indian economy in the Northern Great Plains.

The pillar that suits best with the image of Sitting Bull is citizenship as he is an example of the dark past that this country was built upon. This pillar is a reminder to me speak out for those in need and persevering through difficult times in my life. Sitting Bull's opposition against the army can be translated to how as a citizen, one has the right to protest against what one believes to be wrong, even in insurmountable odds.
