I firmly believe that the arts and other creative outlets are a vital part of my learning and how I see myself. Below is one of my pieces.]]> 2017-01-17 22:24:21 UTC https://padlet.com/fairyaerie/7qkq4n1fj30j/wish/147697580 fairyaerie https://padlet.com/fairyaerie/7qkq4n1fj30j/wish/147712478 I have been a type one diabetic for over 8 years and it directly affects how I see the world. Having this condition has shaped my whole life and other people in this community have really helped me throughout those 8 years. Below is the tattoo I got just yesterday to commemorate that.]]> 2017-01-18 01:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/fairyaerie/7qkq4n1fj30j/wish/147712478 fairyaerie https://padlet.com/fairyaerie/7qkq4n1fj30j/wish/147715637 For the last 4 years I've been  part of the Guide Dog puppy raising program, and am currently raising my fourth dog, Leoni.  The bigger dog is mine who is about to graduate, the small one is Leoni at 8 weeks. Within this program I have learned a great deal about blindness, chronic illness, and all types of service dogs, along with the struggles these people face. ]]> 2017-01-18 02:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/fairyaerie/7qkq4n1fj30j/wish/147715637 fairyaerie https://padlet.com/fairyaerie/7qkq4n1fj30j/wish/147716826 I'm in the process of becoming heavily tattooed, which for some people is a negative aspect of me- and that's fine if you believe that. But to me it's a process of making your outside match your inside and is key to who I am. I'd feel strange and even naked without them. I actually have my pet rat, Ollie, tattooed on my back.]]> 2017-01-18 02:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/fairyaerie/7qkq4n1fj30j/wish/147716826 fairyaerie https://padlet.com/fairyaerie/7qkq4n1fj30j/wish/148252191 This is more of an abstract belief rather than a culture, though I suppose you could argue for it either way. Every conversation or interaction I have I try and put myself in their situation; how would I feel if this was me? Would I want this said to/about me? Would I be hurt by this? I see the world through those glasses more often than not. ]]> 2017-01-19 22:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/fairyaerie/7qkq4n1fj30j/wish/148252191
