It will always be important to me because this is the city where I learned English and the first city I have ever lived in the United States. It has grown up with me and will always be a special part of my life. ]]> 2023-02-06 20:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470740894 jzeitoun4122 https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470742302 My friends are who I have spent most of my time with. We share our ups and downs and in my free time, we always make the effort to go out. They are a huge part of my life. I believe that making close friends early on will make making friendships easier and long-lasting ones as well. ]]> 2023-02-06 20:28:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470742302 jzeitoun4122 https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470743669 Recently, I have been trying different foods and exploring different types of cultural foods. My recent favorite has been sushi. It is now a huge part of my life because for the first time ever my family all agrees on liking one food. It is very important in my familys culture to explore different foods. ]]> 2023-02-06 20:30:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470743669 jzeitoun4122 https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470747021 I immigrated with my family to the US at age 8. Syria was going into war and so we needed to escape. We decided on the United States. I am a first generation immigrant and that is very special to my family. ]]> 2023-02-06 20:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470747021 jzeitoun4122 https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470751014 Family is very important to me as they are the ones who have raised me. Someone really special in my family is my brother (whos in the picture), whom I have an almost 13 year old difference with. I can always rely on him for comfort. This is a part of growing up that I will always remember.]]> 2023-02-06 20:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470751014 jzeitoun4122 https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470752149 Snapchat is an app I grew up with. From dog filters to beauty filters (now), I have gone through it all. ]]> 2023-02-06 20:38:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470752149 jzeitoun4122 https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470753476 From musically to Tiktok, it has all been about dances. Throughout my childhood we would make musicallys (but it was more of a kid thing). Now, it has evolved to tiktok in which everyone uses. ]]> 2023-02-06 20:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470753476 jzeitoun4122 https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470755555 I listen to everything and anything when it comes to music. One of my favorites is Taylor Swift. One type of music I will not listen to is country, however. This goes against my familys cultural norms because they mostly listen to arabic music. ]]> 2023-02-06 20:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470755555 jzeitoun4122 https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470756393 The highest education I have gotten is High school. So far, it has been a unique experience, to say the least. A huge part of the American culture is making sure you are well educated. ]]> 2023-02-06 20:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470756393 jzeitoun4122 https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470758615 I remember my mom taking me to my first swim class at the age of 2 years old. In my culture, exploring different sports and activities and making sure that we try everything is huge. ]]> 2023-02-06 20:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jzeitoun4122/4df9yqr0lly1dd03/wish/2470758615
