https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc A glimpse into my life en-us 2019-05-20 13:15:22 UTC 2025-09-24 15:09:03 UTC hello@padlet.com 4223091 https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/361718902 Me and my family are Christians, and religion plays a major role for my family. In 2017 my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, and at first we were all worried and scared at the moment but, we knew that God would help my mom through this difficult journey. God did help my mom because she only needed 6 months of chemotherapy. Now my mom is about to finish something called radiation on Wednesday.]]> 2019-05-20 13:20:42 UTC https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/361718902 4223091 https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/361724494 The language that I am trying to learn and the language my family already knows is Spanish, and plays a big role in my life. Spanish plays a big role in my life because it is the only language that both of my grandparents know and I would love to communicate better with them. It would be important to learn Spanish because it would help me later on in life when I get a job.]]> 2019-05-20 13:32:12 UTC https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/361724494 4223091 https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363847331 Music is very important in my life. Music has gotten me through some rough times in my life when I felt like people's lives would be better without me. Music has also inspired me to start doing better things in my life, like working out and helping other people that are important to me. ]]> 2019-05-27 23:54:15 UTC https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363847331 4223091 https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363848030 I have spent a lot of my early childhood in Chicago. Growing up me and my family would always go to the city to visit family and go to the beach. I always felt happy when we would go down Lake Shore Drive because I would always see the lake and tall buildings. ]]> 2019-05-28 00:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363848030 4223091 https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363956960 My ethnicity also plays a big role in my life. Me and my family are Mexican, and that influences us to do specific things when it comes to parties and going to other places. When we go to a Mexican party, there's always not enough space for everyone and kids running around. I am proud to be Mexican and I wouldn't want to be anything else.]]> 2019-05-28 09:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363956960 4223091 https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363962695 Food is a big part of my life. Since I am Mexican I eat a lot of home cooked meals that you would see in restaurants. Also when I got to parties, 90 percent of the food is Hispanic. At you would see rice, beans, tamales, and tacos.  ]]> 2019-05-28 10:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363962695 4223091 https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363964640 Sports also are a big part of my life. I love playing football, and I also love watching football. Me and my Uncles and cousins would get together in the fall and we would play every week. My favorite NFL team is the bears, and I will always go for them even if they are not having a good season.]]> 2019-05-28 10:40:29 UTC https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363964640 4223091 https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363965807 Fashion also plays a role in my life. In the world I live in, you have to have name brand everything. If you ask any kid my age I guarantee that he/she will say that they have name brand clothes. When I go to school I always to to look nice with what I wear, but sometimes you just have to role with what you have. ]]> 2019-05-28 10:47:31 UTC https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363965807 4223091 https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363967289 Technology also plays a big role in my life. I also live in a world where if you do not have a phone you will be looked at weird, and maybe even bullied for it. A lot of kids I know have the newest iPhone and accessories every year when something new comes out. I feel like that has to do with feeling cool about yourself.]]> 2019-05-28 10:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363967289 4223091 https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363968570 Education also plays a big role in my life. When I was little I was told that I have to do good in school and not mess around. Now that I´m in high school the pressure is even harder on me to do good, especially on finals. I really want to do good in school, but I feel like there is a lot of pressure on me right now and it is interfering with the way I try and work. ]]> 2019-05-28 11:01:03 UTC https://padlet.com/4223091/799n5d10q9mc/wish/363968570
