I found this pin next to a computer in the library. I saw it and originally disregarded it as just a pin. But then I realized that it has more meaning to it. I began to think about all of the things that a tiny little pin can accomplish or allow to happen. For example, my favorite poster of my dog, a Samoyed, is up on my wall thanks to a push-pin; my broken blinds are held up by a push-pin; the Christmas lights in my suite are held up by push-pins; and at home, my Mom uses push-pins on our world map to mark where she has been. These examples of how significant and important a push-pin can be in everyday life demonstrate why a push-pin deserves attention despite the fact that it is not art.
