This summer I flew out on my own to figure some things out after completely losing myself. I was met with a group of strangers that helped guide me through one of the hardest times in my life. These people are now life long friends of mine, who I would go to the ends of the earth for. I found peace and serenity in the mountains there, after a couple years of constant turmoil.]]> 2023-09-07 01:27:35 UTC https://padlet.com/caldwellme/1l2h00t7szx1irmw/wish/2687757675 caldwellme https://padlet.com/caldwellme/1l2h00t7szx1irmw/wish/2687758006 I was born and raised in Greenville, SC. I am highly grateful to the people there and everything I was able to learn growing up from my family, friends, and role models. I have three siblings and growing up together in this town navigating our way was an experience I would not trade. If it was not for this town and everything endured here, we would not be so close. ]]> 2023-09-07 01:27:47 UTC https://padlet.com/caldwellme/1l2h00t7szx1irmw/wish/2687758006 caldwellme https://padlet.com/caldwellme/1l2h00t7szx1irmw/wish/2687758715 Managua, Nicaragua also holds deep meaning for me. I have been on a couple mission trips here. Although I am no longer religious, this experience served me far greater than that. We would wake up early every day to get into the parts of town needing assistance, feeding the homeless, building homes, and playing with children. Seeing how grateful and appreciative these kids were for what little they did have was a very eye opening experience for me to see as a young girl. I went back home after my first trip there and when I saw my room filled with a bed, blankets, and clothes I felt a much greater sense of appreciation for every little thing. This trip also taught me that it is not material things that make one's life happy]]> 2023-09-07 01:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/caldwellme/1l2h00t7szx1irmw/wish/2687758715 caldwellme https://padlet.com/caldwellme/1l2h00t7szx1irmw/wish/2711757860 Craig Santos Perez was born and raised in Guam.

This is where he first dealt with discrimination. A teacher asked him where he was from and after pointing to a blank space on a map, everyone laughed at him and he was questioned on his citizenship. This is just the beginning of his story and fight for equality, especially for those living in the islands that were not on a map. ]]> 2023-09-20 00:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/caldwellme/1l2h00t7szx1irmw/wish/2711766005 caldwellme https://padlet.com/caldwellme/1l2h00t7szx1irmw/wish/2711770947 After releasing his words on the Logo Map, Dr. Craig Santos Perez continued to live a very fulfilling life in Hawaii.
