(40 points)Text 1To me, inspirations mean to put my thoughts, heart, and creations into my jewelry. Sometimes I become so inspired with what Im working on that I can finish one or more sets in less than an hour. Because of that feeling, I have named my jewelry collection “Inspirations”.I am a 17-year-old senior with sickle-cell anemia. With this, I am in and out of the hospital a lot. So I started making jewelry a year ago when I was in the hospital. I really needed something to do, so I was introduced to jewelry making by a child life expert.One day while lying in my hospital bed, I decided to get up and go to the patients playroom, and look through the craft designs. That was when I became inspired to design my jewelry collection, and named it “Inspirations”.When Im not sick, I try to keep a positive attitude through reading, schoolwork, and craft activities. Even though its a lot of work, I try to stay focus at all times. When I need a break or just to be free I turn to my craft activities. This is a way to ease my mind and it always helps me to especially get through those stressful times.I am getting very excited about graduating next year and preparing myself for college. Who knows my collection of Inspirations, would take me to the places I always dreamed of? I may see celebrities I admire and even sell them some of my beautiful “Inspirations”. If they wear my “Inspirations,” it will become well known and more demanding. What a great way to make some extra money for college! I never thought being sick would bring me “Inspirations”. I want people to look beyond my illness and see the creations Ive made in my collection called “Inspirations”.1、What does “sickle-cell anemia” refer to?AA hospital. BA place.CAn illness.
