I feel a deep connection to my Mexican roots even when society makes me feel a little less Chicana because of my mixed ethnicity and broken Spanish.]]> 2018-01-29 04:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225481543 mfon86 https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225483397 Being a woman doesn't mean just liking things society considers "girly". I do love pink, and makeup, and all things considered feminine. But I also love science, nature, insects, camping, building things and getting my hands dirty. Being a Women is being whatever you want to be and doing what you want to do, while in heels if you feel like it :)]]> 2018-01-29 04:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225483397 mfon86 https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225484108 I don't believe in a divine creator, nor do I think I'm 100% correct in my lack of belief. As a human, I don't know. The more I learn, the more I'm aware of how much I don't know. I grew up Catholic and for some reason still feel a connection to a lot of the Catholic traditions, I think that mainly goes hand in hand with my Mexican traditions. I love studying religions though, and I love that everyone has different, beautiful belief systems. When it comes to my "spiritual" side, I feel deeply moved by nature, science and deep connections to people and animals. My Atheism is a huge part of who I am. ]]> 2018-01-29 04:43:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225484108 mfon86 https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225484999 okay... I will be professionally someday. I'm currently working on my Associates of Science in Biology. I will go on to get my bachelors in Molecular Biology and minor in Astrophysics. I hope to combine the two and hopefully become an Astrobiologist. That's the plan anyways. As for now, I am a scientist at heart... constantly studying whatever I find interesting. Using the scientific method to test my hypothesis, and keeping an open mind to the fact that I could be wrong. ]]> 2018-01-29 04:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225484999 mfon86 https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225485810 I wouldn't say I'm a very skilled artist, however, I do feel a constant need to be creative, whether that's through drawing, painting, photography or creating floral arrangements for my floral business. A world without art would be very depressing. ]]> 2018-01-29 04:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225485810 mfon86 https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225486144 Moderately Liberal. I don't like extreme of any side, as there is a lot of gray area and I think most people, when it comes down to it, want the same things. However, I will loudly speak up if I see someone being treating unjustly, even if it's by higher ups. I am Pro... choice, free speech, BLM, feminist, LGBTQ, and legalization of marijuana. But believe it or not, I am not anti-gun, I believe states should have more power instead of the federal government, and I'm not against hunting. I stay politically aware and I think everyone should even if you don't agree with me. I have plenty of conservative friends... yes, it's possible to get along. ]]> 2018-01-29 05:00:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225486144 mfon86 https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225488360 The more places and cultures you experience the more your eyes open. I hope to be going to some new places soon!]]> 2018-01-29 05:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225488360 mfon86 https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225489229 I love my family. If I wasn't related to them and just met them, I'd be friends with them. :) We don't get to choose who we're related to, but man I got lucky! ]]> 2018-01-29 05:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mfon86/1ozyab9ura0o/wish/225489229
