There is a triangle in the middle symbolizing my mom, dad, and brother. These are the people who keep me grounded. The colors used for each side of the triangle represents Boston (blue and yellow for boston strong). The white symbolizes my brother because he is so pure and innocent. I value peace and prosperity, so there is a peace sign in the middle. ]]> 2022-05-03 18:50:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168813712 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168815783 My mom is Lebanese and my dad is Italian and the two big similarities between these two cultures is family and food. We get together every Sunday when we can for Sunday dinner and we all live wicked close to each other in Massachusetts]]> 2022-05-03 18:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168815783 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168817672 I started off with drawing new jersey and starring my hometown. I also drew an Italian and American flag because those are backgrounds. Family means a lot to me so I put them in a heart, and of course drew friends. I drew the beach because me, my friends, and family love the beach and going to the jersey shore. And lastly, Quinnipiac because it is a large part of my life.]]> 2022-05-03 18:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168817672 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168819206 I put music in my flag because it is something that my sister and I bond over. The pink represents my favorite color. The three hearts represent that I have two siblings and that my mom has jewelry and a tattoo that are three hearts because it is how she thinks of us. The green and red represent my mom's christian religion and is meant to represent Christmas, and the blue and white represents both my dad's Jewish religion, as well as my greek background. ]]> 2022-05-03 18:55:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168819206 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168819491 I wanted to include my favorite color, the blue in the upper right corner, and my sign (taurus). I added a small Italian flag in the corner of mine to represent my culture and family, because they are a big part of my life. The rest of the green on the flag is another one of my favorite colors but also representing emerald, which is my birthstone.]]> 2022-05-03 18:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168819491 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168819822 This is my family flag. Long Island is home to myself and most of my family on both sides. The 314 in the right corner represents my families angel numbers, and the script LYD represents our saying "love you dearly" that my grandpa started. The three lines in different colors represent my three dogs and the colors represent the colors of their collars. The starfish and quote represents my families motto to be kind always inspired by the starfish story. The birds in the sky represent the running joke we all have from my grandma that seagulls fly only over the sea, if they fly over the bay they are called bagels. My family and our craziness means so much to me!]]> 2022-05-03 18:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168819822 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168820538 The background color is blue because blue is my favorite color. In the top right corner I have my nationalities represented in stars, as I am Cuban and Italian. I then have two big parts of my life represented in stars, the sorority and university I am affiliated with, Kappa Delta and Quinnipiac. I then have my family because they are the most important part of my life, a notebook representing that I am a student, a stethoscope because I am going to be a nurse, and New Jersey because it is where I am from. ]]> 2022-05-03 18:56:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168820538 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168820718 This is my family flag. Me and my mom are reconnecting with our Indigenous culture. Turquoise has been passed down in our family for generations, and I value it very much. The pink flowers symbolize my aunt, and her favorite flowers. They are tattooed on my ankle in her honor. I am a strong believer in the MMIW awareness campaign. Family is the most important thing in my life, and most of my family, as well as myself, are from California. I stand firm in ending wars and promoting peace across the world]]> 2022-05-03 18:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168820718 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168820937 Blue white and green background because I think those colors look good together, also blue is coastal and green is Irish.  Pine tree and a little lobster because I live in Maine.  Pride flag because of pride.  Clover because my dad is Irish and my siblings were born there when we lived there. Also an anchor because I live on the coast and I was born in Newport, RI which is also a coastal town.]]> 2022-05-03 18:56:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168820937 alliejohnson2 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168823218 For my flag, I reflected on my hometown: Ringwood, New Jersey. I come from a small town with three lakes that are each the center of our community. Our core values include peace and respect, as everyone is friends with their neighbors. Another important aspect is the environment, as being a lake town surrounded by trees means that it is very important to keep our town clean in order to maintain it's beauty.]]> 2022-05-03 18:58:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168823218 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168825086 I selected my 2 main colors to be yellow and white. White represents my grandparents that passed away, who were close to me. The color yellow is my favorite color and it represents creativity and happiness in a spiritual way. I included all the previous schools that I have attended, and also included QU. My education is very important to me. I included Meriden CT because that is my hometown, and the United States because I was born here. Then I spread different words that I find to be very impacting and deeply meaningful to me.  And Birds are my favorite animal. ]]> 2022-05-03 18:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168825086 ponybirdmusic https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168826080 2022-05-03 19:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168826080 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168826398 I chose to add things on my map that will always make me, me. I put New Jersey there because I have lived there my whole life. My family and friends are all in New Jersey. I also chose Quinnipiac because that is a big step into becoming me and my part of my major. I also put the beach because I love the beach. I put the American flag because I have always lived in America and felt like it is a part of me. Lastly I put the Occupational therapy symbol because it has been a big part of my life and will be for the most of it. I put a heart with an aries symbol in the middle because that is always me. To end the flag I put always in the middle because all these things will always describe me.]]> 2022-05-03 19:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168826398 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168826757 For my flag, I included a map of Connecticut which represents where I am from, and put a star on my hometown which is Killingworth. I then included a heart which if colored, would have the Italian flag colors of red, white, and green since my grandma is from Italy. I then included a cross since I am catholic, the aries symbol which is my zodiac sign, and a clover to represent my Irish roots as well. I included a flower to represent my mother since she loves flowers, and the feminine symbol to show that I am represented by she/her pronouns.]]> 2022-05-03 19:01:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168826757 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168829751 I incorporated my family, that I’m jewish and the day I was batmitzvah. I put in stick figures of my family as well as New York and all of these things such as being Jewish, being from New York, traveling is all apart of what makes me , me. ]]> 2022-05-03 19:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168829751 https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168840610 This flag represents me because my favorite color is pink. I included the texas outline because I was raised in Dallas. I'm really big on the BLM movement because the symbol is a gesture of liberation for those in the black community in the ongoing fight against racism. I included the peace sign because it symbolizes peace, love, harmony, and overall good vibes. I included a paw print because I'm an animal lover, and lastly I added the hearts because I'm a loving person.]]> 2022-05-03 19:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/ponybirdmusic/f3n7y763d0m601de/wish/2168840610
