There is something so special about books. They give me a place to go when I need to escape from the world for a few minutes or hours. Books are very important to me because each story becomes a part of who I am. I take a little bit out of each book with me. Reading is very special because as a reader you give a book a soul when you read it.]]> 2023-03-25 17:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/avazander24/cvwi64a10o701gwr/wish/2531397694 avazander24 https://padlet.com/avazander24/cvwi64a10o701gwr/wish/2531401778 I work at an aftercare program for a Catholic school. The children there give me life. Being around them gives me a purpose. It is incredible to watch them all grow up. I have worked there for five years now and my first Preschool class is moving to our "big kid" section this summer. It is amazing to see how much they have grown and changed over the years. I do not know what I would do without these kids. They teach me as much as I teach them.]]> 2023-03-25 17:53:09 UTC https://padlet.com/avazander24/cvwi64a10o701gwr/wish/2531401778 avazander24 https://padlet.com/avazander24/cvwi64a10o701gwr/wish/2531403896 Fall is a major part of my religion because it is my favorite time of year. I wait all year long for Fall to come. I hate that school starts during it because I wish I were able to enjoy it with my full attention. I love to go on fall drives up the canyon with my family to see the colors changing. I love Halloween and all of the fun stuff to do associated with that.]]> 2023-03-25 17:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/avazander24/cvwi64a10o701gwr/wish/2531403896 avazander24 https://padlet.com/avazander24/cvwi64a10o701gwr/wish/2531405172 Christmas is my favorite holiday. I love how it brings people closer together. I feel like my family is a lot closer at this time. It is very special to me to be able to have this special time of giving with my family and friends. I love finding special, sentimental gifts to give to each and every person I love. I love seeing their reactions when they open my presents because I know it will be something they will love.]]> 2023-03-25 18:00:57 UTC https://padlet.com/avazander24/cvwi64a10o701gwr/wish/2531405172 avazander24 https://padlet.com/avazander24/cvwi64a10o701gwr/wish/2531406495 My dad's dad is from Germany. Each year we go to the Snowbird Oktoberfest since we cannot fly to Germany for the real one. This is a very special tradition for me because I am able to really feel like I am a part of my culture here. We always go up and dance to the chicken dance. That is always my favorite part.]]> 2023-03-25 18:04:01 UTC https://padlet.com/avazander24/cvwi64a10o701gwr/wish/2531406495
