I took on the role of being her Mom. I always wanted a pet and this culture taught me how to love a pet and take care of her. She has been there when I needed her the most. Don’t be deceived by the picture. She is sassy but a really sweet girl. ]]> 2023-06-07 19:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ldoming9slccedu/4tcjlilm7aexg3ra/wish/2617437043 ldoming9slccedu https://padlet.com/ldoming9slccedu/4tcjlilm7aexg3ra/wish/2617454767 I am a girlfriend to my boyfriend. This culture has taught me the importance of self love/ self care in order to take care of the people I love. I have learned a lot and find it very rewarding. I have so much love and patience to give and I found different ways of expressing it by being a girlfriend. ]]> 2023-06-07 19:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ldoming9slccedu/4tcjlilm7aexg3ra/wish/2617454767 ldoming9slccedu https://padlet.com/ldoming9slccedu/4tcjlilm7aexg3ra/wish/2617461690 I was born in this culture and I am proud! This culture has taught me how to be strong and stand up for myself, even in the public eye.  Being a woman, naturally I feel the need to protect and have empathy for others. It has also taught me the importance of listening to my instincts as it has helped guide me in my life and make decisions. It has also taught me to love my body in a world that loves to compare my body to other women and society’s trends/ standards.

It has turned into a hobby that I really enjoy and love. This community has taught me that it does not matter how good you are in art but how you contribute to art. I have learned how to take in proper critique in my art and in life. It has helped me with expressing myself, boosting my confidence, and helping with my stress. I have also been exploring digital drawing where I recreated this drawing (shown as my icon). ]]> 2023-06-07 19:59:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ldoming9slccedu/4tcjlilm7aexg3ra/wish/2617467085 ldoming9slccedu https://padlet.com/ldoming9slccedu/4tcjlilm7aexg3ra/wish/2617476893 I was born in California but raised in Utah for most of my life. Utah has brought me many adventures in my life by going out in nature and exploring. This culture has taught me to appreciate the present moment and not to judge others. ]]> 2023-06-07 20:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ldoming9slccedu/4tcjlilm7aexg3ra/wish/2617476893 ldoming9slccedu https://padlet.com/ldoming9slccedu/4tcjlilm7aexg3ra/wish/2617486211 I was raised as a catholic and still identify as a catholic. I have practiced some religious events/ behaviors. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you'” is a saying that has been engraved in my head since I was a kid. Being catholic has helped shape my values, beliefs, and morals as a framework to build upon myself.

As a project, in 1st grade, my teacher made us get a library card. I never went to a library and it got me excited to read. Ever since then I have been reading as a hobby. This culture has helped me gain other perspectives on different subjects. It has allowed me to broaden my understanding of others and appreciate the stories and what people have to say in my social life.

This culture has made me find an appreciation for different kinds of artists. Similar to books, it has helped me connect with people I meet. I love changing up what I listen to but go back to what I love. This has taught me to appreciate the art of making music and the voices of great singers.

I started to dance since I can remember. The first thing I taught myself was how to Hula dance when watching Lilo and Stitch when I was 4. Dancing has been my favorite hobby in life. Dance has taught me the importance of being in tune with my body. It has also been there as a way to express myself when I need it the most. I grew up feeling like my voice is not heard and it transformed into expressing myself creatively which includes dance. ]]> 2023-06-07 21:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ldoming9slccedu/4tcjlilm7aexg3ra/wish/2617500326 ldoming9slccedu https://padlet.com/ldoming9slccedu/4tcjlilm7aexg3ra/wish/2617503988 My parents influenced my love for nature. They always made an effort to take us on hikes, parks, and go camping. I found this culture to be the most relaxing and peaceful. It has taught me the importance of being in touch with nature and finding peace in my life. Whenever I need to get my head straight I love to disconnect and go on walks and explore nature. ]]> 2023-06-07 21:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ldoming9slccedu/4tcjlilm7aexg3ra/wish/2617503988
