Playing an instrument has existed in my father's ancestry for as long as I know. I attribute it primarily to linguistics/culture, given it isn't traditionally necessary to daily endeavors.]]> 2022-01-27 13:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2015877307 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016162371 Tyler has moved around too many different parts of Texas in his lifetime (attending multiple schools like myself). In high school, he participated in shot put and discus. Like me, he only knows English. Antonino is a middle child and prides himself on his family. Speaking of which, his mother owns a couple of Italian restaurants in Houston, and his dad owns a business. Both of them also played football in high school. ]]> 2022-01-27 15:47:13 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016162371 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016524660 Having had asthma for most of my life, I'd have never thought track would be such a fundamental aspect. Unlike the violin, this choice was entirely mediated by myself. I believe it to be a facet of class; accumulation of all the health provided up to that point. I was in track for four years and put even more effort into training than schooling. ]]> 2022-01-27 18:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016524660 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016579692 In the catacombs of my mind, I find organization critically important. How can I ethically consume media without corporate bias? Why do I resonate with specific compositions? Rateyourmusic.com functions as a music database (likewise, letterboxd.com is a film database) where you can rate nearly every public release ever. As an organizational tool, you can easily create lists, find unreleased projects and essentially search by sound. With a comprehension of influences, the politics of self appear a little clearer. ]]> 2022-01-27 18:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016579692 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016605935 The first decade of my life was spent here in Austin (my father, amid his master's degree). The majority of my second tenure happened to be spent in San Antonio. While in Austin, I attended two elementary schools, in San Antonio one (Elem.), in addition to a magnet program from sixth grade up to graduation. Coincidentally, this also happens to be the third four-year university attended. Through these windows, I've had the ability to witness numerous environments among people and soak in many experiences. ]]> 2022-01-27 19:06:44 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016605935 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016695896 Leaving my friends in Austin (2011) was possibly the most emotional endeavor I had to endure up to that point. Having grown up in student housing, being free to safely roam was something I could only cherish once it was lost. San Antonio presented a new ground, and I still have friendships now constructed from sixth grade. Having gotten my first phone in eighth grade allowed me to stay in contact with anyone from that point onward. ]]> 2022-01-27 19:55:49 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016695896 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016896623 Since a young age, I’ve always been interested in the politics of garments. Between functionality, market value, ethical consumption, and historical context (etc.), it’s a culmination of fascinating premises. I started selling on eBay/depop/Grailed in 2016/2017.

A lense surrounded by wilderness curates a perspective unlike any other. Contemporary issues stand minuscule against a frame composed of universal life. ]]> 2022-01-27 23:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2016916015 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2017244214 Possibly the most intimate identity devised through a lifetime is via family. Outside of my immediate family: I've spent most of my time with my grandparents. Before my family moved to San Antonio (where all my relatives reside) I'd still eat with my grandfather once a week. These relationships transcend the curation of self and are possibly the most comprehensive version of identity.]]> 2022-01-28 04:15:52 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2017244214 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2022618713 2022-02-01 04:10:37 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2022618713 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2034383199 Clarification

I currently reside in San Antonio, only there I feel culturally surrounded. Within the parameters of either city, I don't particularly think I've encountered an explicit experience with racism.   Stereotypes are probably the closest encounter because they stigmatize to a certain extent: although I can recognize that some people encounter much worse. Awareness of racial indifference has been prevalent from a young age because there're many implications to being a minority (introduced by my mother and exposure to media). I feel like the privileges I've had are indicative of my parent's success and the luck of regional location. ]]> 2022-02-17 23:30:47 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2054241499 https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2060111033 2022-02-22 08:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2060111033 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2065368511 Between the parameters of gender/race, I don't particularly cross any astounding biases (that detrimentally affected my experiences/play/development). Perhaps the social standard of gender geared me in some aspect, but I found toys regardless of gender valuable/playable in their own respect. Within development, my parents didn't force their preferences onto me (to my knowledge). I personally find the concept of duality/androgenous experience to be of great importance. I can thankfully look back on my childhood with fond memory. ]]> 2022-02-24 21:45:54 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2065368511 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2071680532 2022-03-01 15:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2071680532 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2076023342 My process of learning Spanish halted at a young age: the greater part of my life has been spent mono-linguistic. It's shaped me by disallowing vaster connections, although I don't feel that it's hindered me dramatically. There is an aspect of regret although, (granted) given the predicament of my environment, it isn't vital to know a second language. ]]> 2022-03-03 15:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2076023342 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2083442381 2022-03-08 07:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2083442381 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2088578671 I personally don't find a profound disability in myself outside of my excessive need for a particular environment to psychologically promote the task at hand. My abilities are entirely up to par although there are times when I succumb to negative coping mechanisms. Disability to myself means something that effectively makes daily tasks harder and is socially classified by means of social assessment/proof (whether it'd be a social/physical disability). ]]> 2022-03-10 15:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2088578671 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2106642182 2022-03-22 03:23:49 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2106642182 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2112114773 I feel as if culture has impacted everyones life in a positive aspect, personally it's molded me into everything I've become.

On my father's side, I know Spain is where the lineage hails from however, there isn't substantial proof. Mexico comes a generation prior, and that's the closest I get to the initial indigenous people of the lands here in Texas. Growing up, the outdoors have always presented a fundamental key to how my ideology has culminated. I still believe that in an open field (absent of social bias), conversation forms the most naturally/holds the most integrity. In terms of play, it presents an eternal set of morals predating historical text and implicating universal feeling. ]]> 2022-04-07 12:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2134520105 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2140500258 2022-04-12 08:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2140500258 felixlara https://padlet.com/felixlara/d3678s78gjl6o76x/wish/2144041858 Growing up, the presence of technology initially introduced an aspect of new narratives and accessibility. Today, I've become so consumed I don't think there's been much positive benefit within the last few years. Understanding that the world is evolving, technology needs implementation at some point: however, limitations/moderation must always be considered.
