My dad passed away in 2016 of October. One of my sisters, Emily is getting married in the Summer and has already moved out to an apartment in Chicago. My other sister, Anna likes girls and has been dating this give named Olivia for about seven to nine months now. Both their girlfriend and my future brother in-law had become a huge part of my life ever since. My mom recently started dating this guy named Paulie. Paulie has helped us with almost everything and we plan on keeping him as family forever. Last but not least, my little sister Hanah. She is twelve years old and one of my inspirations in life. She keeps me going everyday and we love each other but, get in fights way too much. ]]> 2019-05-21 17:36:59 UTC https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362248038 4224511 https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362252815 Mansaf is rice and melted yogurt as the sauce. There is bread on the bottom of the sauce pan and nuts added in the sauce. There are pieces of lamb put inside of the sauce to give you some protein. In my culture, mansaf is a main dish in the culture. They eat it on special occasions like Ramadan, the time they fast until dawn. ]]> 2019-05-21 17:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362252815 4224511 https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362260084 Girls in my culture wear hijabs to cover their hair and long dresses that cover their whole skin. In the Muslim culture, girls and guys shouldn't show off their skin and hair. They should all be covered from head to toe. ]]> 2019-05-21 17:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362260084 4224511 https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362262258 In my culture, we speak Arabic. Arabic is one of the most confusing languages to speak and write. Its very difficult to learn as well. We use this language when we talk to our family members and when we pray.]]> 2019-05-21 18:04:58 UTC https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362262258 4224511 https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362262978 Music in the Muslim culture consists mostly of loud music with harmony and tempo. We use instruments like drums, guitars, fiddles and more. The music is usually loud and they use their own voices. The music is usually sung in Arabic and always lets out a strong meaning. Arabic music always gets me up on my feet. We usually play it at special events like weddings and engagements. My preference of music is more rap and hip-hop. ]]> 2019-05-21 18:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362262978 4224511 https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362357332 Me and my family are not as religious as we were when I had my dad. My dad would get mad if we wore things that shown our skin too much or too tight of clothing. My dad wanted us to feel comfortable in our bodies but not too comfortable. Usually in the muslim culture, you are supposed to cover from head to toe. We did not do that. We also were never able to eat pork because pigs are considered "dirty" in our religion. Now, things have changed for me and my family and we eat and wear whatever we want. ]]> 2019-05-22 00:11:44 UTC https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362357332 4224511 https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362359407 The generation I live in is phones, laptops, computers, etc. We use a lot of electronics and machines that we did not have back then. Although it has helped us but, it has also caused problems. My phone and laptop have helped me a lot throughout the years. ]]> 2019-05-22 00:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362359407 4224511 https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362360485 A sport that had my heart since I got to Middle school was badminton. Although I may not be the best at it, but my coaches have inspired me to keep moving forward. I've made a lot of friends during badminton that I hope I can keep till the end of High school.]]> 2019-05-22 00:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362360485 4224511 https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362361101 I started off school at a private preschool. I then moved on to an elementary school called Centennial Elementary school. As I moved forward into the years, I got to a middle school called Meadow Ridge Middle school. Moving forward, I got to Century Junior High school. As I got older throughout the years, I made it to Carl Sandburg High school. Mid-year of going to Carl Sandburg High school, I had to move schools to where I go now, Hinsdale South High school.]]> 2019-05-22 00:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362361101 4224511 https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362362710 I've recently got attached to social media in Middle School. I've used applications like Snapchat, Instagram, and VSCO. They all serve about the same purpose but, I can always have fun with them.]]> 2019-05-22 00:40:23 UTC https://padlet.com/4224511/d68aoj1izq9n/wish/362362710
