My mom and grandma immigrated to the US from Poland. They had to overcome many things for example, learning a new language while trying to find a good job. My mom always made it so I had the most opportunities possible. The neighborhood I live in now and the neighborhood my mom lived in are very different. ]]> 2022-05-25 16:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mchrzanowsk5071/1dvangtsvlue89d4/wish/2199660207 Neighborhood mchrzanowsk5071 https://padlet.com/mchrzanowsk5071/1dvangtsvlue89d4/wish/2199676109 This is the house i have lived in for 7 years.

I think in my life I want to have a career that takes a lot of education and some skill. I really would like to be in the medical field. Power means something different to everyone. Power could mean being the president of the United States. Or, it could be owning a lot of money or simply making important decisions that not only impact you but the people close to you. After highschool I hope to go to college and med school]]> 2022-05-26 14:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mchrzanowsk5071/1dvangtsvlue89d4/wish/2200942181 Powerful People mchrzanowsk5071 https://padlet.com/mchrzanowsk5071/1dvangtsvlue89d4/wish/2200949979 As a teenager I don't have very much freedom or power.

I grew up catholic and so did many generations before me. My family is from Poland where almost everyone is catholic, when my family came here they brought that belief with them. Certain choices I make involve their opinions. Some of my friends have the same beliefs, some don't. Its important that everyone has different beliefs so that they can learn from each other. If everyone in the world was the same, life would be boring. ]]> 2022-05-29 19:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mchrzanowsk5071/1dvangtsvlue89d4/wish/2203694525 mchrzanowsk5071 https://padlet.com/mchrzanowsk5071/1dvangtsvlue89d4/wish/2203696065 A picture of my confirmation last year.

I use a computer in most of my classes instead of paper. My phone is constantly on me and I can contact someone in an instant. Although not technology is good. I notice myself on my phone more than I should sometimes. My generation has people addicted to technology. For example when was the last time someone held a physical book or even looked at a map. ]]> 2022-05-29 20:18:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mchrzanowsk5071/1dvangtsvlue89d4/wish/2203707378 Positive vs Negative Technology mchrzanowsk5071 https://padlet.com/mchrzanowsk5071/1dvangtsvlue89d4/wish/2203709634 Positives; Enhances Learning, Improves problem solving skills
