So I began to watch more sports with my dad, and I also started playing softball at age 6.

This connects to my theme because it shows how my want to engage more in sports was made possible because my parents accepted and encouraged it.]]> 2021-11-08 21:24:52 UTC https://padlet.com/smilner261/dleb5abtb0mteuc0/wish/1876398040 smilner261 https://padlet.com/smilner261/dleb5abtb0mteuc0/wish/1876400982 As I got a bit older I developed a love for reading from my sister. My family all helped me find genres I liked and allowed me to explore literature.

This connects to my thematic statement because it shows how the members of my family all helped me to make sure that my goal to read was achieved. ]]> 2021-11-08 21:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/smilner261/dleb5abtb0mteuc0/wish/1876400982 smilner261 https://padlet.com/smilner261/dleb5abtb0mteuc0/wish/1876403407 Connected to my love for reading, I began to thoroughly enjoy writing my own stories. My sister read everything I wrote and left me feedback, while my parents did the same.

This proves my theme because it shows how my family was always open to helping me when it comes to things I was/am passionate about. ]]> 2021-11-08 21:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/smilner261/dleb5abtb0mteuc0/wish/1876403407 smilner261 https://padlet.com/smilner261/dleb5abtb0mteuc0/wish/1876408110 My family embracing what I find interesting has allowed me to pursue my passions as I change as a person because I grew having my interests supported.]]> 2021-11-08 21:30:47 UTC https://padlet.com/smilner261/dleb5abtb0mteuc0/wish/1876408110
