I specifically chose to draw a cross and a heart and use these three specific colors. I chose to draw a cross because I have always grown up in a religious household. I have received my Baptism, Reconciliation, First Communion, and my Confirmation and have always attended mass. I chose to draw a heart to represent the love I have for my family. My family means everything to me. They are always supportive, loving, and caring, and I always look forward to spending time with them. Next, I chose these three colors, red, brown, and yellow for their meanings to also help represent me. Red represents love and passion where I love my family, friends, and find passion in helping others. Yellow represents happiness and hope where I try to find happiness in everything I do, especially when it comes to helping and teaching others. I find hope through my faith that I will be led in the right path and make the right choices. The color brown represents nature. I really enjoy taking a step back sometimes and just enjoying what is around me. I feel it is enjoyable to take a walk in nature sometimes just to clear my head. I feel that tis flag and these colors are a good representation of me as a person and what I find meaningful. ]]> 2020-04-27 19:20:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/534516042 hannahlukas812 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/534569625 In my flag I included the aspects of my life that I have found to be most influential on the person I've become today. To start off, I made the background of my flag pink. The color pink is associated with compassion, nurturing, and unconditional love. These are traits that I often express towards others and myself, especially friends and family. I then continued with this idea and added the holding hands. This tied in my passion for helping others, and illustrated my ability to do so through my future profession, occupational therapy. I then added a yellow sun, because both the color and the shape are things that I associate with my optimism and positive outlook on life, which is something that I hold close when identifying myself. I then added the outline of New Jersey and an ocean wave across my flag, because I have lived here my entire life and grew up at the beach, which not only expresses my upbringing but also my place of serenity and relaxation. Lastly, I included a family of six, because I have three older sisters and my parents who are very important to me and have aided in making me the person I am today. ]]> 2020-04-27 19:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/534569625 ambercallahan03 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/534717119 I created a flag that best represents me. On my flag, I included several images. My first image is NJ state where I was born and raised, and I like to call home! The second symbol I included was the Irish Celtic knot which symbolizes family as well as the eternal spiritual life and unity and trinity of soul, heart, and mind. I chose this symbol because my family is not only very important to me but also Irish! I also included a sunflower on my flag which symbolizes my favorite flower and color yellow! I also added a photo of the beach with pictures the letters "OBX" which is my family's favorite vacation spot. Besides family, animals (dogs & cats) play a big role in my life which is why I included footprints on my flag. Lastly, I included the Quinnipiac Bobcat. I included the bobcat because Quinnipiac was my dream school and has played a huge role of who I have become and where I am at today in my life. ]]> 2020-04-27 20:59:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/534717119 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/537541960 I created a flag that best represents me and my favorite things. I chose to draw my flag in the shape of Connecticut because this is my home. I colored the background pink because it has been my favorite color my entire life. I drew my family because they mean everything to me. I drew the Italian and American flags because I am very proud of my nationality. I drew a cross because religion and faith is a big part of my life. I drew hockey sticks because it is my favorite sport and I played my entire life until college. I drew the sun and water because I love the sun and beach so much. I also drew a heart and smiley face because I am very loving and a very positive and happy person.

This is because my family is both and we always include both cultures into our lives. I also chose to include a paw print because my family has always had animals in our life and it is a part of my family that we cherish. The word family i added because it is so important to me, family is always one of the biggest things in my life. The New York state photo that i added is also important to me since i have lived around the whole state. I grew up on long island as a child and moved to upstate new york when i was a little older. New York has always been my home.

The first culture I belong to is the gaming culture. I have played a plethora of video games since I was 2, and have now reached the point in my life where I start designing them. I enjoy not only playing games but also enjoy discovering the processes of how different games were made. The processes include how a cool mechanic of a game was programmed, the concept art created, the layouts of levels and how they were designed to interact with players, and the order of process of how the games were created from start to finish. Another culture that I belong to is the cat culture. Cats are considered my favorite animal and favorite kind of pet to own. I do not think I’m alone in this cat culture, I believe that there are many members who agree with me. Lastly, the culture I belong to is the Irish culture. I am half Irish on my father’s side, hence the name Liam.]]> 2020-04-28 20:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/537558951 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/537721885 I created a flag that incorporates many important things in my life.  I drew a tree, flower to represent my love for the outdoors. I added my family in a heart because family means everything to me. They have shaped me into who I am today. My family is from Germany, so I incorporated a German flag as well. It is important to honor where we came from through traditions we have. I drew an outline of New Jersey with a heart around where I am from. I grew up living here, so this place is very meaningful to who I am. Lastly, I added a basketball and lacrosse stick to represent my love for sports. These things have been a big part of my life and have made me who I am. ]]> 2020-04-28 23:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/537721885 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/539662620 For my flag I started with a light yellow background because I feel that it represents calm, happiness and positivity which are traits I try to show. I included two hearts because I love love. My parents have always made it a point to show love and compassion to me so I do the same for others. I also included a little family in the corner because family means a lot to me and always has, they're my biggest supporters and have made me who I am. I included a picture of Lake Waukewan because my great grandpa built a house on that lake and my family has spent every summer there. I also included NJ because that is where I grew up and I included my hometowns flag because that was another contributor to who I am. Lastly I put QU in the middle because the second I walked on this campus I knew it was home and it is helping me to find my place in the future. I also included a raised hand to symbolize my future career as a teacher and my drive to help people. ]]> 2020-04-29 16:15:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/539662620 njulca13 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/539837536 Here is my flag! I decided to make a collage of symbols that represent me and helped shape me to become the person I am today. First, is the sticker of Buttercup from the show "Powderpuff Girls" and she's holding a phone looking all sassy. Anyone who truly knows me knows I am such a sassy person and always down to meet people. Then we have a sticker of the Peruvian flag where my family is from and as much as the US is my home, Peru is as well.Then we have two photos of my family and friends and they are my #1 supporters. Next is a sticker of Quinnipiac because that is the school I go to and love. Next is sticker of Nutella because anyone who knows me knows I have a BIG sweet tooth and I just love sweets. Then we have a sticker of a plane because I love to travel and I hope after I graduate I can travel and learn about new cultures. Then we have a sticker of a happy face with hearts all over it which represents my personality because as much as I am sassy I am a loving person who has a big heart and sensitive side. Then we have a sticker of pink stars which represent my favorite color, pink. Finally, a big sticker of Connecticut because CT has always been my home. I have lived here all my 19 years and this state has helped shape me into the person I am today. ]]> 2020-04-29 17:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/539837536 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/539898584 For my flag, I chose to do a blue background because that is my favorite color and brings me a feeling of calmness. I included a picture of a family of 4, because my family very important to me. They are always there for me and have encouraged me to always push myself. The picture of the hands making a heart represents how love is such a big part of my life. My family, friends, and loved ones show me unconditional love and I aspire to do the same to those in my life. The picture of the individual in a wheelchair and the person helping them represents my future as an OT. Helping others become their best is something that I care deeply about and am excited to devote my life to. Finally, the red spot on the picture of New Jersey represents where I was born and raised. Living here has influenced me in many ways and I am proud of how the members of my community and educators have pushed me to become who I am today.]]> 2020-04-29 17:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/539898584 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/540494238 For my flag, I chose to incorporate multiple aspects of my life that I consider super important to me. In the center column of my flag I put what grounds me in life. First, my family because no matter what they are always there for me and are my biggest supporters. I think put Connecticut because that has been my home, where I have grown up my whole life and is something stable for me.

The right column includes the sun, because summer and sunshine are 2 things that bring me happiness.

I then included a guitar with a cowboy hat because country music is something I love and it helps me escape from reality. On the left column I chose to put my Crossfit gym because working out is my outlet, passion, and something I enjoy everyday. It helps me escape from reality and makes me feel good even on my worst days. I then put volleyball and lacrosse because I have been an athlete all my life, even into college, and it has always been something I have had a passion about. My final picture is the NY Giants because I see myself as a huge sports fan and it is something that my dad and I have a passion for and have grown up enjoying together. Overall, I chose the background to be yellow because it is a color that represents sunshine and happiness and reminds me of good times and days. ]]> 2020-04-29 22:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/540494238 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/540695612 My flag is pink because that has always been my favorite and happy color.

It has my future career as a teacher represented.This career has not come easy to me and I have been down a long road to finally get here. The symbol to the right of the teacher says vegetarian. I have been a vegetarian for six months now and I feel so much better about myself. It is not only for me, but it is also how I am trying to give back to the earth. The symbol for Mickey Mouse represents my love for Disney and how many good memories I have with my family there. The lower left is the zodiac cancer sign. I have recently been interested in astrology and feel as if it explains some of my personality traits. I have gotten into art over my college career and I am minoring in it so I felt it needed to be included. Lastly these stars on the map represent places I love in CT. To the west is the New Haven area which represents Quinnipiac. To the East is where I live and my entire extended family also lives. Family is a huge factor in my life and I truly wouldn't be me.]]> 2020-04-30 01:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/540704634 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/51l66rtpfpe4u574/wish/540772364 The beach picture represents the Turks and Caicos Islands where I represent and am from!

Without my family, I wouldn't have much. My sister and I are best friends and I also have an older brother to look up to.
