Icebreaker for Our Class by Leah Marcal

Please write your full name; post your picture; and answer five questions: (1) What is something you like about yourself? (2) Where is your happy place? (3) What song would you include in the soundtrack of your life? (4) What can you do today that you weren't capable of a year ago? (5) Pick one government program that you believe should be expanded. I'll go first...

1. My quirky and bubbly self :) I like to listen other people’s stories and troubles because then I am able to connect to them better and of course because I want to know the tea haha.
2. Outside my house. With my friends. The beach. Adventures make me happy.
3. Honestly there can’t be just one song to be included as a soundtrack of my life because my life is all over the place. I can choose There For You by Martin Garrix, but Starships by Nicki Minaj has my vibes. And also, Substitute by Darwin is a vibe. There’s just so many that one wouldn’t be enough to describe me.
4. A year ago I wasn’t able to be my complete self. Be able to go out of my house and going to college was the best thing that has happened to me so far! I’ve learned so many new things about myself that I wouldn’t have known if I had stayed in my house. (I have Asian parents and they are pretty strict in everything I do)
5. Healthcare in general. Going to the hospital can be very expensive, even for just a day. Having healthcare allows families to afford getting treated in a well manner.

One thing I love about myself is my good sense of humor, or at least I like to think I'm funny.
My happy place is the beach as long as I'm surrounded by genuine people, and a great playlist.
If my life had a soundtrack, I would definitely have 'Champagne Coast' or 'I'm Sorry We Lied', by Blood Orange. (LISTEN TO HIM RIGHT NOW)!!!!!!!
One thing that I'm capable to do today that I wasn't able to do a year ago would be able to drive myself to places without destination. I really wish migrant workers and working class individuals got more benefits in health care and in living wages.
