Most people of his age are gaming enthusiasts and enjoy more electronic-based activities. However, River’s recreational activities are more correlated to nature; unlike others, he loves spending most of his time outside (Fishing, playing sport, etc.)]]> 2021-10-12 22:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/pki3/gr254zqpsk1eox1e/wish/1812155242 pas00101 https://padlet.com/pki3/gr254zqpsk1eox1e/wish/1812165274 What’s quite interesting about Meena is her level of resilience. She basically grew up with no parents and didn’t even recognise their faces until she came to New York. Additionally, she was taken away from such a lush environment in India - full of life and the magnificent mountains she described. Even after all that, she remains quite energetic and bubbly, which is quite surprising for someone who experienced such childhood adversities.]]> 2021-10-12 22:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pki3/gr254zqpsk1eox1e/wish/1812165274
