The Daric, made in the 4th century BCE, is the Persians first coinage made in their time. This coin demonstrates how knowledgeable the Persians are. The name Daric derived from the ruler Darius in which the coin was made during the time he was in control. On this coinage, they placed an image of their current ruler. Just as the Persians , we too have currency that has images of our past presidents that made an impact in our government. I feel that the Daric set an impressionable example in regards to their skills of making such a coin at a time when it was not common.

About Me

This image to my left represents myself in more ways than one. The two ladies in this painting looked to be harmonious with one another as though they are one. When I look at this painting , the first thought that comes to mind is my identical twin sister. We complete each other's sentences and thoughts. Without giving a clue, she knows what I'm thinking about or at least have an idea. The way the ladies are positioned, one behind the other reflects the way my sister and I follow each other leads in anything we do. We both plan to become nurses, we have a higher chance in succeeding when we support each other, and this painting represents just that.

This painting, to me, illustrates confidence she has in herself. The position of her arms over her head shows me self-admiration she has and no matter what others may say about her image, it wouldn't change her self-esteem. This is what I strive for, not self-esteem but confidence. Many times I may second guess my decisions in any thing I do, and for once I would like to be sure of what exactly it is that I want to do in my future that is ahead of me.
