Use Case Diagram
In my home, I believe that a use case diagram is the best option. I still live with my family and I am the 2nd oldest of 7 kids, so there is a lot going on in a given day.
A use case diagram is defined as “A description in UML that documents the name of the use case, the actor, a description of the use case, a step-by-step list of the tasks required for successful completion, and other key descriptions and assumptions” (Tilley, 2020).
A use case diagram is typically a good option if there are multiple participants doing different tasks, which in my family, is always the case. There is always somebody going to town, somebody working outside, somebody working inside, somebody doing school, and often, doing these things for somebody else (not school though :)).
It is difficult to find a Biblical reference to a use case diagram, so I am going to go for a completely different subject.
I will often worry too much about something I have no control over. It usually takes me some time to realize I have no control over it, but that means I just wasted a bunch of time worrying. One of my favorite verses that has been helping me for years get over this bad habit is Philippians 4:6-7, which says “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus” (New Living Translation, Philippians 4:6-7, 1996). This verse has especially helped me through school when I worry about an assignment or worry about a grade. It helps me to realize that I am not in control, nor will I ever be in control, so why worry about it?

State Transition Diagram
I will use my workplace. I work for a medium sizes credit union.
The interaction Diagram I want to use is a State Transition Diagram. “A state Transition Diagram shows how an object changes from one state to another depending on the events that affect the object.” (Tilley 2019) According to “Construction of artificial neural network economic forecasting model based on the consideration of state transition diagram “The state transition function can obtain relatively good empirical results when it is used to quantify the tail features of the dependent structure. One of the jobs that I do is when a new employee is hired I have to give the employee access to our core system. I can open the account and make the employee active, I can freeze the employee account or I can also make the employee inactive if they decided to leave the company.
A biblical reference I would like to use Comes from Genesis 16 where Sari Abram’s wife was not able to conceive any children so she decided to give her handmaid Hagar over to Abram to give him a child. Once Hagar saw she had conceived a child from Abram she began to despise Sari. Once Sari started to deal with Hagar she fled from Sari. Am angel of the Lord asks Hagar where did she come from and where is she going, Hagar said she was fleeing from Sari. The angel of the Lord told Hagar to return to Sari ad submit herself to her.
