VSAR 3017 WEEK ONE GROUP F by VSAR https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10 Who are you? en-us 2017-07-19 03:50:47 UTC 2025-09-28 09:37:49 UTC hello@padlet.com Courtney Iremonger irecr003 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179456480 I identify myself and culture as Australian. The land of Australia is my home and I have been privileged to experience both rural and urban living, two diverse ways of life. I am currently living in Adelaide while completing my studies, however my home is the Yorke Peninsula. This is a place where I feel a sense of belonging, and where I value many relationships. The smaller population and freedom, evokes strong meaning to me. Hence, why i mark it as my home. ]]> 2017-07-26 01:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179456480 Kayla Woods wooks002 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179475778 I’m Kayla, i'm 20 and an illustration student. I’d define my cultural identity as Australian, with Scottish influence from my dad’s family, and I live on the outskirts of the Adelaide Hills. I don’t feel particularly connected to a specific place as ‘home’, home to me is anywhere thats comfortable with those close to me, and some where that is close to nature.  ]]> 2017-07-26 05:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179475778 Michelle Magias michellejoy1020 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179478246 Hi I’m Michelle, 
I am born and raised in Adelaide, South Australia. I would say that my culture identity has been greatly shaped by my Dad’s side of the family – Greek. 
 
Home for me would be here in Australia wherever my family and pets are.

Shouldn't be too much longer - he'll tell you all about himself when he gets here.

My cultural Identity is more Australian than Persian. Home for me is Adelaide where my friends and family are. ]]> 2017-07-26 07:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179482373 David Adams davidadams1997 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179484315 I'm David, 20 and a design student. 

I have some german ancestry but was born and raised here in Adelaide so i'd identify myself as 'australian' moreso than anything else. 

I tend to feel better living with others rather than alone, so I would be at home anywhere I can live with people I love. I've learnt how to 'live' in Adelaide, so it'll always hold that place in my heart that won 'home' by default. (Nah its alright.) ]]> 2017-07-26 08:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179484315 Sascha https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179485138 I’m Sascha. Whilst my nationality is Australian, I have mixed ethnicity - Malaysian with Chinese descent and German. I experience a cultural identity crisis on the regular. Home to me has no location. Home is who I surround myself with and when I feel most comfortable!]]> 2017-07-26 08:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179485138 Jessica Clark https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179489100 I'm Jess. I would define myself as 99% Australian with small part of my family descending from Ireland and England. Home is Adelaide and will always be, no matter where I am in the world. Friends and family make up the warm, happy feeling I have knowing I'm somewhere safe and can identify as home. ]]> 2017-07-26 10:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179489100 Ben Stoeckel ben_3223 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179501181 I'm Ben, I'm 20 and study design. 
My family is of German and English heritage, but both sides of my family have been in Australia for multiple generations now.

I was born in Adelaide, but my family moved to Mildura, Vic when I was 10, and now I have moved away from them to study in Adelaide again. For this reason, I find it hard to define where home is. I am from a big family, and always feel comfortable around people, so I would say that home is wherever I have friends and family around me. ]]> 2017-07-26 14:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179501181 Lauren Stevens stele003 https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179530606 I'm Lauren and i'm 21 and I am an Australian. I have always lived in the Adelaide hills and find that is where I feel most comfortable. I prefer to be around small towns than in the city because the sense of community is much stronger and that is what makes me feel a sense of belonging. I come from a small family in a quiet suburb and that is why I believe I feel comfortable when I'm in smaller communities. ]]> 2017-07-26 23:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179530606 Ally Clayden-Rose https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179535255 I'm Ally and I'm born and raised Adelaide, SA. My family's heritage stretches across Europe, mainly in the UK, home to me is in Adelaide. Although Adelaide technically is a small city I find comfort in the busiest parts, seeing bright lights and night and the rush of people gives me a sense of belonging but also makes me realise there is a huge world outside my home to take part in.

While my ethnicity is Chinese, I consider myself Australian having lived here all my life. 
Home to me is usually where I am comfortable, surrounded by friends and family. Having never moved before, my house would be the most like home as it contains the most memories and moments shared with the ones I love.]]> 2017-07-27 06:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179563116 Chandler Saing https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179575159 Hello, I am Chandler, 20 years old and am studying design.

My nationality is Australian, but I was born in South Korea. I was adopted to an Australian family at 5 months old, and from then on I was raised in Adelaide, South Australia. I believe home is wherever I feel comfortable, most likely being surrounded by close friends and family. ]]> 2017-07-28 00:15:08 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179611380 Remy Prideaux https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179612215 2017-07-28 00:26:03 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179612215 Bailey Donovan 1215bailey https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179629990 Hi I'm Bailey. I'm 19 and studying Visual Art, specializing in glass. I would describe myself as Australian but my grandparents came from the UK. I think Adelaide is my home, I've always felt a sense of attachment to it. After visiting other states and countries I think nowhere has the potential to feel as homey as Adelaide does to me.]]> 2017-07-28 04:29:44 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179629990 Jason Smith https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179683672 Hi I'm Jason, I'm 24 and study Visual Arts specialising in photography.

My family is of Australian and English descent.

I was born and raised in Whyalla on the Eyre Peninsula and I was a 2nd generation train driver & 3rd generation steel worker there before I moved here to Adelaide when i was 23. I don't really consider any one place to be my home but rather Australia as a whole to be it.]]> 2017-07-29 15:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179683672 Taylor Summers https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179691995 Hello! I'm 21 and am studying Communication Design. I would define myself as an Australian with influences from my Dad's German heritage. I have always lived in the Adelaide Hills and I find myself feeling most comfortable when surrounded by the natural environment. I have travelled all over Australia and as long as I am in contact with nature, I always feel like I am home.

I am 22 years old and am studying Visual  Communication (Illustration). I was born and raised in Adelaide, Australia but have French and German ancestors. To me, home is not objects, but rather a place where love is unconditional, secure and safe. ]]> 2017-07-30 01:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179693279 Sam Kolesnik spkolesnik https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179748648 Holla! I am Sam. Like the movie. But also, not really. Good joke.

I was born in Adelaide and have lived here all my life. The origins of my family however are a mix of Ukrainian, Polish, German, English.

So now I will continue the rest in my native Ukrainian tongue.

Я справді вражений, що ви дійсно переклали це. Добре зроблено!

Я вважаю, що мій дім знаходиться там, де є моя сім'я.]]> 2017-07-31 06:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179748648 Lauren Murphy https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179756487 My names Lauren, I am a Design - Vis Com student. I identify as Australian as I was born here. Mum was also born in Adelaide, and Dad was born in London to Irish parents. I believe we have some other European decent (Spanish or similar). I feel at home in Adelaide, but there are many places I have called 'home' during my travels in the past few years. I feel at home in Europe as I have many family members living there, and many friends that I have met.]]> 2017-07-31 08:49:15 UTC https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179756487 Georgia Follett https://padlet.com/stephen_atkinso/2aeohs126y10/wish/179762111 Hey friends, I'm Georgia, I'm 20 and am studying Visual Communication - Illustration.
