In the book Maya is mostly independent when she first moved to San Francisco and doesn't rely solely on one person, how does the support someone receives change how they will grow up to be in life and their outlook on life? by Mariana Barajas https://padlet.com/barajmar000/3fndm1h2an5g en-us 2017-11-15 03:11:24 UTC 2017-11-26 01:31:49 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Lightdecrease.png Paulina Bartisius bartipau000 https://padlet.com/barajmar000/3fndm1h2an5g/wish/207057865 Someone who always depend on someone else will always expect to have someone to lean on in life, while those who almost raise themselves become head strong and can accomplish things on their own. After Maya learned how her parents really were like she began to rely on herself. For example after she got in the fight with Dolores Marguerite didn't wait for her father to come and get her a place to stay, she went to the car yard were she eventually found a group of kids she was able to call family. But Marguerite also sometimes rely's on others because she ended up calling her Mother and asking whether she could live with her after the car yard. So for Marguerite she grew up understanding that if she really wanted something she would have to be the one to go and get it but but she also knew she could rely on some of her closest friends and family.]]> 2017-11-15 05:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/barajmar000/3fndm1h2an5g/wish/207057865 DeGuzman jdeguzman https://padlet.com/barajmar000/3fndm1h2an5g/wish/210090066 This is a good question (so I'll answer it)! I think that the support that a person receives over his/her lifetime will greatly affect the person he/she becomes in the future. I strongly believe that the decisions in our early lives aren't really ours (per se), but that they're simply reflections of our influences (aka parents at first). When you're younger, and you played a sport, it probably wasn't because you wanted to, but that your parents signed you up! In the future, this changes, but only to a certain extent. Yes, we make our own decisions later in life; however, the scope of those decisions still resonate from our previous upbringings. In other words, the choices we make are a culmination of all we've learned from parents, teachers, friends, significant others, etc.! ]]> 2017-11-26 01:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/barajmar000/3fndm1h2an5g/wish/210090066
