Reading helps me gain perspective on things that I otherwise would not understand and be aware of, reading has helped me be a more empathetic person. Literature has taught me that words and stories have much more power than we often think and has influenced me to write my own stories.]]> 2021-01-22 22:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcconk6/3zyhk1xkqlqkyj2f/wish/1116029771 kmcconk6 https://padlet.com/kmcconk6/3zyhk1xkqlqkyj2f/wish/1116048124 I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. A lot of what I believe in and hope to achieve is based on the religion I was brought up in. It has shaped what I value and want most out of life.

I am lucky enough to be very close to my family, I see them often and can see my own personality and attributes reflected in them. My family has shaped who I am more than anything else when it comes to, sense of humor, values and beliefs, and overall personality. I share many of the same cultural rituals as them and will continue to as life goes on.]]> 2021-01-22 22:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcconk6/3zyhk1xkqlqkyj2f/wish/1116059908 kmcconk6 https://padlet.com/kmcconk6/3zyhk1xkqlqkyj2f/wish/1116073743 I started playing the violin when I was six. Though there were many times when I complained about it, it taught me discipline and hard work. I had to get comfortable performing in front of others and practicing daily. 
Listening to music has always been a big part of my life. I listen to all kinds of music and find that each genre can inspire and/or motivate me in one way or another.

When I watch films, read books, or  speak to people from other countries, I can see how different American and, specifically, Utah culture is to other places in the world. The way I eat, speak, walk, dress, and act have all been affected by the place I was born and the education I was given. 
The United States is a very diverse country with many different types of people, because of this I have learned the importance of cultural awareness and mutual respect.]]> 2021-01-22 22:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kmcconk6/3zyhk1xkqlqkyj2f/wish/1116082941
