This is because we are considered lesser than men, even though people think it's amazing that a woman can create human.  I am considered a minority just because I'm not a male. This has taught me to stand up for myself, and fight for equality. Also, being a female has made me more understanding of other minorities because I have seen a glimpse of the bullying and struggles others go through. ]]> 2020-09-09 02:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ajemiso1/identifycultures/wish/729751802 ajemiso1 https://padlet.com/ajemiso1/identifycultures/wish/729763682 I grew up half my life in Europe, and the other half in Park City, UT. My parents each own a company based in Europe, so I went to school in Spain and France. This exposed me to many different cultures because I have friends from around the globe. Having these exposures has given me an open mind, and I love learning about new aspects of different cultures. The picture below is a classic French breakfast for a cafe. This typical breakfast usually includes orange juice or coffee, a croissant with jam and butter, and sometimes a piece of fruit.]]> 2020-09-09 02:31:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ajemiso1/identifycultures/wish/729763682 ajemiso1 https://padlet.com/ajemiso1/identifycultures/wish/729773718 Since I was always traveling it was hard to keep up with what was in style and it was difficult to fit into different cultures. As a result, I went to music because it was a way to express myself. Also, music helped me stay connected to my friends from UT. This song is mine and my best friend's all time favorite song. We found it on the airplane back from France to Utah, so this song is nostalgic. ]]> 2020-09-09 02:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ajemiso1/identifycultures/wish/729773718 ajemiso1 https://padlet.com/ajemiso1/identifycultures/wish/729780328 My family and I didn't grow up religious, so I'm agnostic. My mom's mom was very spiritual and my dad's mom was Catholic, so there was an interesting blend of beliefs that my parents acquired. Besides that, my friends have all different types of beliefs. Some of them are Mormon, Christian, Catholic, and Buddhist. As a result, my religion is a little bit of everything, but I have more spiritual beliefs. I think that nature is very powerful and has a lot of energy, so that's why I chose this picture. ]]> 2020-09-09 02:39:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ajemiso1/identifycultures/wish/729780328 ajemiso1 https://padlet.com/ajemiso1/identifycultures/wish/729790860 I'm only nineteen, so there are many more experiences that I need to experience! Although, it feels like I already have a lot of experiences from living in Europe and graduating early. I'm curious what other events I will experience in the future. It's interesting to be living through a pandemic at my age because I was used to being very social and going out, so it's weird having to be alone now. This photo was taken about two weeks before quarantine happened, and it was taken on my birthday. I had cake for breakfast :) ]]> 2020-09-09 02:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ajemiso1/identifycultures/wish/729790860
