My culture is the Christian church, and it identifies who I am as a person, what I think and believe. i grew up in the church almost my whole entire life since I was about a year old when my mom converted to God because she was able to find him and her lowest and needed his help. I'm also aware of how some people may view Christian as this holy and think they're better type of people or they could also view us as the most disgraceful thing on earth. The truth is we are humans Gods creation living in sin therefore we're not perfect obviously but through his son Jesus we can receive forgiveness because he died in the cross for our sins. I also know people don't believe that Jesus is the son of God but the bible says it so many times even in the old testament from since the earth was created there was prophecies saying that Jesus would save us. And people from ancient time would refer to existences from the bible that supposedly aren't true. Anyways we also believe that God will come from heaven with Jesus to take his people with him and separate us from Good and Evil we call this the Rapture the second coming of Jesus. And I so heartedly believe it because not only have I felt it when he calls us to repent and everything but because of the so many hundreds and thousands of testimonies of the Rapture.

I would say I love the outdoor views but I wouldn't say that I love the outdoors as much. I guess just being able to appreciate nature and its views and taking them to my heart is what makes me love the outdoors. Usually every summer at least a few times per year my church goes up to Indianola Utah where our territory is and we set up our tents and camp there for a day or two. Its just so beautiful especially during the sunsets, and the night sky. When the night comes and the sun is on the other side of the planet lighting up the moon, we see the stars so beautifully shining so bright. It really gets to me every time like i could never get used to that view. Also just seeing the milky way from there makes me think of how God created everything and so perfect that a little tiny detail that's misplaced with the calculations and stuff, everything would be a disaster and wouldn't make sense. I don't like the outdoors as much especially during the day because of the Sun I don't like the sun because it hurts my eyes and I don't like getting sun burned I hate the feeling of it. So I like going out during the early morning or evenings and nights. Also the lake views from Utah are the best I love them so much especially bear lake I would live up there if I had the chance to move all the way up there. Ohh yes I also love the winter views like when everything is all white covered up with snow it amazes me so much as well. But I also just don't like the cold and the ice roads. And fall when the leaves start to fall and its the perfect weather is my favorite. But I love it most when the winter cold, and the snow starts to fade away and when the sun is able to come out and shine in our faces so bright, and then the trees start to blossom of very pretty flowers, and the plants start reviving is the most beautiful part of nature.

So I guess cats are part of my culture as well, because although I've never owned or had a cat as my own I would always find them fascinating and so calm and beautiful creatures. I chose a cat as part of my culture because they're not as energetic sometimes like dogs and I like to have peace and tranquility when I do stuff. So when I see a cat and just hunch down and wait for it to approach me and i calmly pet them and that just gives me a sense of being able to love them a little bit more every time. Also just feelings them like their fur and their warmth it touches my heart. When they also purr is what I love the most. Furthermore I guess I also like learning about behavior and why we do the things we do not only in people and children but in animals too especially cats and dogs. I know a bunch of friends that have cats and every time I find out that some friends of mine have cats I get jealous because they're so cute and adorable too. I like how in every single house that i've moved too theres always an orange cat that we never know comes from and likes to chill with my siblings and I. On time though we were petting it just outside of our house door and when we were leaving we didn't notice it but it had gone inside and we locked the door on it because we were leaving to go to church to we were in a rush too. So when we got home I heard a meowing noise and i was like wait guys do you guys hear that? And they were like what and then they heard a meow too. So I was like omg is there a cat inside here so we searched and searched and I found it under the kitchen table so I got a bit scared but then we let it out. So yeah that's that :)

School has been a huge major part of my culture and it has really done such a huge impact on me and how I am as a student and an individual person. So I'll start off by saying that I was never the smart straight A student. All of my life since I was in pre-school I never really cared about my homework or my grades or about learning I thought I was going to be find like I don't need it. But there were other times when I would compare myself to the other smart kids and feel ashamed and guilty that I wasn't like them, that I wasn't putting in the same effort as them. And I thought I was never going to change I thought I was always going to be the dumb useless girls that doesn't know anything. In elementary there were a few concepts I was able to understand but the majority of it I didn't want to understand because it looked to complicated. I remember moving from an elementrary public school to a dual Immersion Academy in 5th grade. I was doing well in elementary 5th grade because I liked the teacher she was my favorite, but once I had moved that same year I didn't have a motivation to keep on studying so I remember all middle school from 5-7th grade I was a straight F student in all of my subjects except for P.E. and music those were the only classes I loved. But in the summer of 6th grade going into 7th grade I met this one kid out of coincidence honestly but he was 9 months older than me I kind of liked him and he was the tall smart straight As and Bs student that almost every girl in my school liked. So we would talk like besties you know and I would always like want to be like him you know smart and stuff. But it wasn't until I moved schools for my 8th grade year of middle school to granite park where I was alone didn't make friends because I couldn't socialize like before because around that time was covid. So I was all alone and I said to myself that i'm going to focus on my studies only and I did i made a few distant friends along the way. But I graduated 8th grade with excellence given to me as a plaque with straight As. I was so happy and my mom was proud as well, and since then I have been a good student and thank God I knew how to study 8th grade because high school is a mess if you get behind you get behind thankfully that wasn't me though. but the kid really inspired me to be a good student. For high school he went to APA and I went to innovations.

Music and Dance is my culture and its important to me because I grew up with the Christian church. And I was one of the girls that would dance to the music so joyfully and gracefully with the other girls. We do these 3 day celebrations the first day brining a talent or anything for God from you it could be a dance, song, instrument, or a poem. The 2nd day we bring an offering to the church in baskets it could be essentials the church needs to be maintained clean or new things for the worship group to keep their stuff clean or also storable foods. And then after we bring the offerings the church gives us fruits, veggies, protein like a bunch it lasts for at max 3-4 weeks. Lastly the third day is when we do the the lords supper and after that we dance wearing our capes and crowns and its so fun to be a part of. We dance with everybody at church for a good 3-4 hours. But I upgraded to singing in the worship group :) I still dance though when we do those celebrations.
