Now I think it is really difficult to keep up doing well in school as I am not in elementary school anymore. Another change in how I behave or act around specific stuff is thinking it would be the hardest thing in the world to make friends, as my introverted self was shy. Now, it's really easy to make friends as long as you act correctly and have a good time with them! The last one is that I used to like basically no food except junk food, yup I like to live off sugar as I know now that you need veggies and healthy types of foods to actually survive, behave, etc well. That is all the times I basically changed in 11-12 years as I have a little better prediction on society, the human body, basic needs, etc! How I have changed in middle school is now that I have a proper understanding of what happens in middle school instead of thinking it was something so advanced I couldn't or will never be able to pass middle school, as I think about it is actually easy for me! I am really sad that I don't have recess anymore since it is actually really fun and I get to spend recess with friends. What is on the positive side is that I like most of the teachers here, they're kind, and support anything you can think of! One last change is my behavior, I stay on the grind and my mindset has been changing to "I cannot do this, I am not good enough". It has transitioned to "I will work hard for it and get it".]]> 2023-03-02 21:04:47 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2501727761 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2502806517 All of the members of my family are great, especially my mother she is the standard Vietnamese woman as she has blonde hair and part black hair (used to have just all black hair). She naturally dresses up just comfortably like a sweater as she gets easily cold, a little messy hair, and sometimes even makeup since I probably see her the most with makeup in the day. As she dresses up to go somewhere she will wear makeup, dress well, heels, and not have messy hair! I think it is time I introduce my father, my father is a little chubby but works very hard as he works from an 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM job. Naturally, he is a great father and loves me a lot as my mother does, some of his favorites are cars, tv, and money. He dresses very father-like, as in lazy clothes at home. When he dresses up to go somewhere, he dresses up very nicely. Basically, it could be anything that is nice, and I applaud that! The bossy member of the family is my brother, he mainly is always upstairs but I get to see him from time to time, ya know Steven. He works a lot like my dad and mom. He is smart you know he was one of the smartest students in your class as he has glasses, he is very nice and funny! Another member of my family is my grandma, she speaks just Vietnamese as the rest of my family speaks a little English (excluding Steven). Another one is my grandfather, he naturally is a goofy guy that is just a good grandfather overall, really! One last family member is my aunt she is younger so she has more energy than my grandfather and grandmother and mother and father. On the last vacation, she went with us (including grandmother, mother, and brother) as she participated in more activities with me and my brother while the rest of the family sat back!]]> 2023-03-03 15:54:30 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2502806517 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2503126311 I like to think important people are my friends (excluding family), friends are mentally a part of my health, my well-being, and my own personality. My friends always have my back and I have their back, nothing is bad about them most, I talk and have fun while also playing games with them right now. Overall, my friends are Jayden. logan. Anita, daniel, Estrella etc. Mostly I think I have the greatest friends I could have, school isn't just all about pain and suffering. Friends are there, you make them and it will help you feel better about doing work as they are there too! So probably the most important people (excluding family) are friends that I have, which applies to online friends too. Honestly, I could not ask for better friends than Logan, Anita, Daniel, Estrella, and Jayden. That is mostly about who is most important to me, just friends! People who were not related to me that put a big impact on my life are, my teachers. My teachers teach me to want I need so I can have a good job in the future and a bright future, For example, Mr.DiDuro teaches social studies so I know I can explore the world and know all about the world (states, countries, facts, and etc). Teachers are always having a big impact on me since basically, they control my future as I need the education to get a good job. Who really has been a role model to me was my big brother (STEVEN) was my role model. He always gets straight A's, gets a job, and starts a small shop business and I look up to actually having to get to his standards as I am not the same as him, just quite a little more below him.]]> 2023-03-03 21:18:05 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2503126311 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2507546174 My National and Ethnic background is for my Ethnic background is that I am Vietnamese/Asian. I have the standard Asian stuff that Asian people do. For example, I eat rice, I eat noodles, I am smart at math, etc. Well I think Asians are mainly good at math because of the rice that our Ancestors harvest, I think that is why Asians are so good of math is because of the rice we are eating, well don't worry rice is not 99% toxic or something, pretty sure it's a grain so that is probably why Asians are so good at math. Asian parents expect a lot out of Asian kids really. For Example, when going to school Asian parents expect their kids to get straight A's, a mere B+ will make them get mad, I really know this cause I do have Asian parents. My national background is Vietnamese I think, I am Vietnamese so That is probably what my national background is since ya'know national means a group of people that share similar appearances, behavior, traits, emotions, food, culture, etc. What it really is it is just relating to some nation which is basically, I relate to Vietnamese people I think. What I know about my culture is that key parts of my culture are basically that rice is a key part of the food culture, noodles, and looks. That is what I know about my culture, as I don't really know much about my culture as I am barely a little introduced to it as I never looked into it that much. Although I might think that Vietnamese, Chinese, and Korean might be a little similar im not sure. Sometimes some people could get really annoying as If I say hello to someone and then I hear "Ching Chong". Of course, I am joking but sometimes this could be true as some people get really racist as some Chinese people start a lot of viruses like Covid-19. I think how my grandparents and parents met is how their culture is so similar, language as you know that is very similar to each other. I think that is how they met, I'm still not sure about it, I think I might be wrong but I think at least 70% of it is how they met so, yeah.]]> 2023-03-07 20:58:35 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2507546174 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2508805688 My home is the standard house that most white people own. It has an attic, downstairs, upstairs, 3 bathrooms, 1 shower, living room, bedrooms, and stairs up and down. Now I'll tell you what is different about the house that white people don't really have in their houses. We have a prayer thing that has pictures of our ancestors, Buddha. We have food that is usually Asian's type of food like rice, noodles, etc. Usually what makes my house so special is the very not much decorating if there are holidays like Christmas, Halloween, or thanksgiving. Our house is hugely decorated in Buddhist stuff that Buddhists have really. What makes my room well, my room is that I have a love for video games. I have some video game posters in my room like Roblox, Minecraft, etc. I am just the typical video game lover! As there is a big tv in my room that looks pretty good! This might be hard to explain but I will explain how to get to my house to pinnacle charter school, First, we get to the car as I leave out of Clay Dr, I go to the right of W 81st Ave passing through a playground (Park) and some houses. I pass through Stacy Dr, near the mad science of Colorado I go right, I keep going right and take a left turn as I arrive a Pinnacle Charter School.]]> 2023-03-08 15:41:48 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2508805688 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2510919833 Well, I think I first arrived at the school in elementary school at kindergarten (6 years from now). I think how I first arrived at middle school was that on the final day of 5th grade (still in elementary school)! After I went home, I suddenly remember I have to go to middle school. Since 5th grade is the last grade in elementary school, and in the next grade 6th grade, I will have to go to middle school. As the summer passes I eventually forget that I am gonna get to go to middle school in like 1-2 months. As I am too distracted on vacation in Florida, Orlando (going to Disneyworld or land). Fast forward after a while, I start to get to the final day of summer and start getting a little paranoid as I am going into a new stage in life/school I am a little worried that middle school is gonna be harder than flying. Where I go to elementary school is Pinnacle, in fact, I was actually here for all of the elementary school (kindergarten, 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th ground). Well, my favorite educational experiences and the best teacher is, well math and social studies and ELA (Language Arts). I like it because in math, most of the teachers I got math was1` really funny as they were getting a good relationship with the class and me. For example my 5th-grade teachers, 4th, just basically everything (including 6th grade!). I play video games with friends such as online friends, in real life (like Kaleb or something). I don't really do much after as I have nothing to do than just play games with friends when in my free time!]]> 2023-03-09 21:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2510919833 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2512327491 What I most commonly eat at my house is, you guessed it! Rice! As you know cereal grain is a really important part of Asian culture as it is almost probably 90% of what Asians eat. This is also how we get good at math as I had explained a lot about the food "Rice" in some other sections of this culture project. Something else I actually also eat is, well noodles. As I think it is my favorite food as it is also an important part of a culture like rice! My dad makes a joke and calls me noodles as I eat it a lot since I think it might just be my favorite Asian culture food. What food I must commonly eat at school is well nothing, to be honest. I eat at the school cafeteria whatever they give me, well I think the food we get each day is randomized. I will include one that is every day, pizza on Friday as I think it is a little celebration in this school for making it through the week, looking back on all the work you have done, and achievements you have gotten throughout the week, all your hard work! The person who cooks the most in my family is my mother. She cooks the most as I think she cooks 90% of all the foods, as my dad is 7% and my brother 3%. I don't know how to cook as I will probably make fire as food, so don't trust me with cooking! I think my dad's cooking is actually pretty nice but not as good as my mother's! In fact, both of their cooking is pretty good and I like both of them. I don't have much of a favorite music but if you mean like genre, my favorite out of all of them is probably jazz. As it relaxes me because of its soothing music and I mostly listen to jazz music anyway. So the alternative answer is probably jazz. Well, I don't really think I listen to the same music as my family, as when I listen to my brother's music it is actually way different from mine in genres, language, singing, etc. About my mom, she doesn't quite listen to music as often as I know, but I definitely know that I don't listen to the same music as her (including genre, languages, etc like my brother). My dad normally doesn't listen to music like my mom. Sometimes, I actually see him listen to music as he listens to like old school music (old music). As he is pretty old, like a grandpa but he's not that old! Well, not really as I listen to music corresponding to my culture. I just like a lot of other songs, but songs that correspond to my culture are actually pretty okay but not really my favorite but ok. ]]> 2023-03-10 20:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2512327491 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2515280295 Religion is always an important part of the culture, in that case, yes it is an important part of my culture! As it serves how we act, morals, limits, eternal happiness, etc. I'm pretty sure that religion is actually important in all or most cultures around the world. As I think you already know my religion since I said it in past sections. I practice Buddhism as I think my parents told me about this it is all about the potential I think as it is how far I know, but this could be wrong or correct. I actually don't really go to church as I really don't know why, I think it is that we have a little mini church at home where we have some tower with a buddha picture on it and some pictures of our ancestors. I think how it is different is that we don't go to church a little differently from other cultures/religions. Instead of really giving offers of like souls for some religions (no offense to Christians, you don't sell souls). What Buddhists actually do to give some offerings to our "master" we actually give food, not souls! We don't kill people just to give for offerings, we are not cruel! Well, what I would say to people who practice other religions is to know about our religions, to not sell souls as offerings, don't kill people, don't be having your religion as something very evil or very bad, and I can't think of anymore! ]]> 2023-03-14 01:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2515280295 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2515283016 This section might be a little surprise for you, Mr. DiDuro. The main language at home is Vietnamese right? I actually just really speak English as I can teach my parents English, but I actually got so used to English that I forgot about some Vietnamese. I mainly speak English at home as I like English more than Vietnamese and know A LOT more English than Vietnamese as I just only speak English since I can't fluently speak Vietnamese or write Vietnamese. I still preferably speak English when out with other family members as if most of them speak Vietnamese, I am a little fluent in understanding it as being in the house has let me learn some Vietnamese! Yet, again I speak English with my friends as they don't really know Vietnamese and would be confused. As communicating with friends is nice other than just saying words they won't understand. The language I prefer is probably English, as it is an easy language and I am most fluent in compared to other languages, but Vietnamese is 2nd fluent as I know more Vietnamese than Spanish, French, etc. I really don't know if this goes against my culture if I know more English than my own cultural language. The pros and cons of my language are that, well for pros it actually is pretty nice to have a second language, as other people only speak one language. Another pro is that people sometimes ask me for Vietnamese words so they could learn a little Vietnamese, just in case if they go to Vietnam in some case. The cons are that some people when I say I am Vietnamese would literally nickname me "Vietnam boy" since I am Vietnamese and it gets really annoying as some people are stupidly racist.]]> 2023-03-14 01:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2515283016 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2516677880 As for traditions and Holidays, I actually can't think of much as I rarely have any traditions and holidays with my family but I still have some I do remember and I think are a part of my culture such as Vietnamese new year, lunar new year, ghost month, independence day. What are some holidays and traditions that I think are Vietnamese and that I celebrate with family? Why I mainly celebrate these months are well I don't actually know much but for ghost month I think we celebrate some dead important people I think. I think you already know what independence day is as it is a very regular holiday/tradition. The most important part is about the people who are important, such as family, friends, and culture. So mainly about these holidays and just friends and family and since it almost just forms our whole culture. Well, I actually don't know much about what I do that could be different from other people's cultures but I can list some I might remember. We don't sacrifice people's souls for offerings! We are kind and not cruel as it is kindness is in our culture. We eat different types of foods as it has different effects on us and I think you will know the other types. ]]> 2023-03-14 19:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2516677880 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2516694881 2023-03-14 20:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2516694881 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2516696120 2023-03-14 20:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2516696120 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2516704503 2023-03-14 20:16:58 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2516704503 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2516886062 The 10 most important events that have happened in my life (so far), the first one would be going to elementary school, it is important to me as I am going to start a journey where I would make friends, bond with teachers, and have fun. Learn with teachers and friends get field days, be active with friends, and learn how to do basic normal people's needs. I think another most important one is that injuries are very bad/big, I think I know why this is such an important change as it could actually wipe my whole life as my life is very valuable! Friends and family would be so sad :(. Another big important change is going into middle school as I am gonna get into my teenage years and I am going to high school in 3 years. I am really panicked about this as I am getting to go into a new era of school I will not be in easy mode anymore since I have 7 classes, and have to pay for lunch, I actually didn't really feel excited about it but I forgot about the teachers as all of them were great! There were no bad teachers as I got all the honors, it was great. Another important one is growing up, you probably know this growing up is an important event in my life as it is important for everybody as you get to try out new things, get a job (not to that yet), and make more friends! 5th one is actually very dark, as one of my online friends felt a bit suicidal as they think that they served no purpose in life and were gonna "end it all". This is very important to me as they were one of my best online friends and were very funny, and outgoing. The only reason this happened is, well I don't know really know but they are okay and didn't end it all! 6th one is learning new things, trying out new things, and using new things you've learned. For example, you learned how your parents wash the dishes and you do the dishes so they can at least have some sort of break, for all they do for you that is the least you can do for them. 7th one is a little weird but, games are a true passion for me as I get online friends, chat, play games, and have fun with them. Sometimes I play games with people in school, games are such an important part of my personality as they can do lots of things, and have endless ways to have fun with friends. 8th one is the beginning middle school and I am thinking about all the hard work we're gonna do, for example, I thought that for each period you get some homework but turns out that it isn't really that big of a deal since it was just false. I find out I don't get recess as it is the second half of our break while in school which no longer exists now that we are in middle school, I thought about all the big tests, and projects, that were surprisingly easy most of the time. 9th one is well-losing teachers that were actually pretty cool, in the beginning of semester 1 we had a different STEM 1 teacher, his name was "Mr. Walterson". He was actually a pretty cool guy as he was very nice and funny but sometimes he would get a temper as the kids were very disrespectful as a part of why he got fired. One day, I was just chilling but I heard rumors about Mr.Walterson getting fired for throwing a chair at a kid. I shake this off as he wouldn't actually do that, but turns out he actually did, listen I'm not saying that he should stay and keep throwing chairs at kids. The only reason he actually did it is that it's been weeks and weeks of kids being very disrespectful and chatty as he lost his temper kind of quickly. Yeah, now I believed he was fired as we had a sub for weeks until we finally got a new permanent STEM teacher (Ms. Whitney). The last and final one that is the most important was actually family. Your father and mother take care of you every day and night as you grow up. I'd like to dedicate this one to being thankful to have a roof over my head and loving parents and a loving brother, getting an education as this was all done by my parents.]]> 2023-03-15 00:26:39 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2516886062 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2518342489 I actually hope to grow and mature like I am healthy and I have to have a good future as my education is important. I really like to think I will grow up healthy and sane, as I don't want to be in an insane asylum and I don't want anything bad to happen to me as I really want a bright future. My goal is actually to get the job I really want and like not some boring one. My goals are to get A's cause of the job I probably am gonna get asked about my intelligence and fast pacing work. I will really do a good job by having a great bond with teachers, doing good on tests, and doing all the work and homework. The fast pacing is a 20-minute practice session workout with doing work as fast as I can, as it is quality work and not rushed. Where I want to live in some like a not too rich or not too poor house, you see I just like a house that is peaceful and not too fancy like rich people's houses as most people just prefer only very fancy and big houses. So basically, I would just like to live in a place that's well peaceful and not too fancy. According to my education, I will probably decide in the future of having a family. If I would have to pick a choice I would probably since I don't just want to be alone in a house with crippling debt just having a sad life and a bad job and if I just get some assistance, mental health support. I don't have any further information about my future, well, for now, we just gotta wait!]]> 2023-03-15 20:17:57 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2518342489 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2519920621 2023-03-16 19:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2519920621 1259933 https://padlet.com/1259933/arc87t240zedpjqr/wish/2519933912 I have hair, I'm not bald!
