ESL 30/NCESL 39: Project 1 by Emily Packer https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em Images of Life en-us 2022-08-25 16:00:58 UTC 2022-12-13 21:43:03 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4f8.png Emily's Image emilypacker https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2271625812 I chose a photo of me at Rocky Mountain National Park because spending time outdoors is tremendously important to me. I am obsessed with being in nature because it gives me energy and allows me to disconnect from my everyday life. If I am having a bad day and I go outside, I instantly feel better. Nature has always had a profound impact on me. Even as a child, I would spend as much time outdoors as possible. It enriches my soul! I sincerely think that being in nature helps improve one's mental health; thus, I recommend it to my friends and family members when they are going through difficult times. It turns out that a few of my friends have embraced nature as a remedy to everyday worries, and this has allowed them to overcome hardships, which gives me such joy! Do you like spending time outside?]]> 2022-08-25 16:03:35 UTC https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2271625812 Kazu’s favorite ornament https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2286892309 I chose a picture of this angel, which my mother had given me when my family decided to move to San Diego. I had never lived anywhere except in Japan; thus, it was a dramatic change for me to live there. I embraced not only excitement but also anxiety. My mother tried to project calm about our move, but she had obviously worried about me and missed us so much. She might have thought she wanted to give me something that would protect me as a lucky charm. When I received this angel from her, I also received her profound and tremendous affection for me. Once we started our new life in San Diego, I had many difficulties beyond my expectations due to the new culture, language barrier, and parenting.
However, whenever I see this angel, I feel that my mother cheers me up sincerely, and I will be able to overcome those difficulties. It has turned out to be an essential ornament and enriches my feelings.

I love my three dogs, they are like my best friends and family members, and especially "Hanna" who has a unique character and tremendous to me, so I chose a photo of her with a lot of dramatic stories. When I have a negative thing, she enriches my emotional and makes me happy and smiling instantly, and she takes away negative thinking. Hanna loves my friends instantly used fresh smelling sock when he takes it off after work. After we have seen Hanna's has some issues, I notice her obsessed tripping the stuffing out of pillow and furniture because when we came home it turned out to see snow in the house from the stuffing. She broke a big pillow and some stuffed dolls. Finally, she destroyed the pillow on a brand-new couch. Look at her face!! Far from being mad, I couldn't stop laughing.  We discussed the situation and had a controversy because I could only remember her face, not the action or result.  Now I have a project of finding a school for Hanna. I will find her a dog school for training and have to pay the tuition for the school and spend the time she needs to go for school; thus, I hope she will overcome her addiction and embrace the expectation of being a well-behaved family member.

How  I miss her embrace  so much. She was obsessed of  playing bingo laugh out loud. My mom  overcame  or  should I say overcome  when she lost her husband and son she was a  strong person. I remember her 75 birthday it was a very turnout party . The teamwork and the project of the party was perfect  my sisters and family that made the party wonderful.  I'm blessed and sincere  that she was a great mom. The portrait of the picture  that I pick for the background say it all . The expectation she want for  her daughters, grandkids, and family is to love one another and just get alone. How I missed her love and her soul here on earth... I'm miss her saying I'm  so dramatic  laugh out loud.. ]]> 2022-09-08 20:04:05 UTC https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2288813065 Erick's Image https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2289005396 Sincerely, this picture was the first one who caught my attention when I was scrolling down in my phone's gallery. I will remember this moment forever. Without notice and in couple seconds I moved my head to the left and these two were hanging with each other. Instantly I decided to take the photo. Usually Jack want's to eat Hedwig when it is flying inside the house, so this is a tremendous achievement, at least for us. Hedwig doesn't like Jack because of the explained reasons, it gets very stressed and it's respiration rate goes up dramatically. I thought this moment will never happen, my expectations weren't high at all. Was so amazing see them engaging. Hedwig lost partially it's fear for Jack, it overcame it. This turned out to be a very positive experience for both and the best part was that no one got hurt. After this interaction, Jack projects more tolerance and calmness towards Hedwig. It doesn't jump anymore to eat it nor barks to it. These behaviors represent a lot for our family because we can plan other things to do with both of them and reach more relevant experiences. ]]> 2022-09-09 00:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2289005396 Alice's Image https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2290312432 I chose a photo which I took several years ago at the corner of the backyard, which was in my Chinese home, because I have tremendous memories there. I was obsessed with enjoying time there, whether it was birds singing morning, sunset afternoon, or moonlight evening. No matter how restless I was, once I sat on the bench of the corner, looking at the dramatic view of the lake and the mountains far away, my heart instantly turned out to be peaceful. I like to close nature, thus hanging out at the corner was an easy way for me to embrace nature. In the winter, when it snowed whole night, I could not wait to wake up and run out to the corner to see the amazing world: Below my backyard, there was a silvery village; behind it, I could see the milky lake; far away, the continuous white mountains represented to me. At that moment, I found the profound meaning of our lives -to experience and explore the wonderful world. In the spring, reading at the corner was the most attractive thing for me. I was immersed in the plot of books, feeling that varicolored blooming flowers surrounding me, and the scent of flowers was wafted along by the breeze. In the summer, I liked to stand alone there to enjoy the eyeful of green. In the fall, a string of grapes covered the long corridor. My family members getting together under grape vine, picking those sweety fruits, eating them under the soft moonlight projected the most essential ceremony in the harvest season. After my kids’ born, we had more joy at the corner. The kids spent days sunbathing, practicing crawling and walking, playing games, etc. So many activities and so much pleasure! Fortunately, I took a lot of portraits for my family there. Although I have left my hometown, that corner is stilling living at the most important position of my heart, and I believe it will live in my heart forever. Sincerely, the corner brought profound influence in my life. It enriched my soul; thus, it is also my soul’s hometown. Now, my new home is in America. I cannot go back to my hometown to live for a while since the controversial political policy executed in China after pandemic. I expected that one day I can take my family back to my hometown, to that corner in my backyard, to relive our past with greater happiness.

This photo means a lot to me because behind this photo are my friends and team that I work with and do teamwork with. When I started music , I thought that all my work should always be tremendous , and this was true for my demos. While we are always working on  a project  , my friends and I work day and night to make it a high- level job. Music is my hobby , but I'm trying to professionalize this business , which means that music is an important hobby for me. I didn't have high expectations when I started this hobby , but when I started to learn something , I started to feel a little different.I'm enriching my music everyday. If an idea comes to my mind  , I instantly start working on it. I think we will overcome anything with my team. We are sincerely in music and we do it because we feel like it. And the music we make now turns out well. ]]> 2022-09-10 01:57:22 UTC https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2290387973 Ruaa's image https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2290398974 I chose this picture of me dancing with a dolphin because it represents a precious moment in my life and projects my sincere love for dolphins. Since I was a child, I was obsessed with these sweet creatures and I profoundly spent hours and hours watching documentaries about them and dreaming of meeting them in reality. I may like them because of their smiley faces or because of their tremendous intelligence. I didn't expect to have a chance one day to meet one of them face to face as I lived in Iraq where dolphins don't exist; thus, I instantly got a ticket to swim with dolphins while I was in Turkey on a vacation.  Although I was so enthusiastic about this experience, I was also nervous about being in deep water swimming with wild animals. However, I had to overcome my fear to enjoy my day. You may have a controversy with me about my passion; whether you agree or not, dolphins are awesome.]]> 2022-09-10 02:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2290398974 IMAGE OF LOVE by Mauricio J. https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2290447848 Two days ago, one of my friends sent to me this picture. In my opinion this image represents true love. To decide get married and live with another person all our live is a tremendous compromise. You have to be sincere about your real feelings and overcome all kind of difficult situations. Nowadays people do not embrace easily the marriage idea, however, they have big expectations when they meet people that like them. This is because everyone has a profound necessity of being loved. The love experience is something that truly enriches our lives; thus, a lot of people could be obsessed with the idea to find the true love. In the sunset of our life, I do not want to be dramatic, hopefully everyone could project this amazing experience. ]]> 2022-09-10 04:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2290447848 https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2418497855 I chose this photo because is very meaningful, This photo was taken at the orange County concert it was the first Time I performed in front of people on a stage, there was a lat a flashing lights , sincerely it was very emotional for me and I was very nervous but I overcome the nerves, This concert went good because of teamwork we represented latino people and Mexican music that day, it turned out very good because is sold out I was obsessed with that day because it was first time and I have tremendous desire to play in front of people and that day was very dramatic in a good way ]]> 2022-12-13 00:13:13 UTC https://padlet.com/emilypacker/hmbwns9o82vr3em/wish/2418497855
