It might help us helps us to understand more about that person ’ s past. I was interested too about my ancestors and I found out that my aunt has Russian origins! And my great grandfather too! This is awesome! I did ’t expect something like this! In conclusion, this was a good opportunity to discover new stuff about some of my ancestors ! ]]> 2017-10-28 14:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/twilightsparkle17786/ia3jpjbxixeh/wish/201412817 Poenaru Diana - Maria, class 10th A twilightsparkle17786 https://padlet.com/twilightsparkle17786/ia3jpjbxixeh/wish/201413041 Origins are the starting point for the evolution of a thing, a phenomenon or beings. This explains how such a high-performance phone has started from an idea that at first seemed to be impossible and pathetic. Unfortunately, my origins are not as vast as a phone.  All I know is all my relatives up to Grade 3 are Romanian, they have the same faith and speak the same language.]]> 2017-10-28 14:11:55 UTC https://padlet.com/twilightsparkle17786/ia3jpjbxixeh/wish/201413041 Melinte Alexandra - Violeta, class 10th A twilightsparkle17786 https://padlet.com/twilightsparkle17786/ia3jpjbxixeh/wish/201763736 Everyone in this world has a family tree and many of them have some different and unexpected origins too. 
So my name is Vivi and this is an article about my ancestors' nationalities. 
When I was talking to my friends about our families, I discovered that some of their families were constituted by a variety of nationalities and in that moment my curiosity was arisen. Since that day I just wanted to know where do I come from so in one day I asked my family members about our family tree. 
I discovered that all are from Romania. I am a true-born Romanian and most of us are like that because Romania was a communist state between 1947 and 1989 so there were no many different nationalities coming to Romania for a log period of time.]]> 2017-10-30 15:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/twilightsparkle17786/ia3jpjbxixeh/wish/201763736 Haidamac Ana - Maria, class 10th A twilightsparkle17786 https://padlet.com/twilightsparkle17786/ia3jpjbxixeh/wish/201767660 I realized that in many European countries it is pretty normal to have foreign roots. 

I have met a lot of people whose relatives come from other corners of the world and it seems very interesting to me. I actually feel weird when my friends told me about their origins because they have families which constitute a variety of nationalities. Their grandparents, for example, are migrants or they have origins in aristocratic families.

All these stories made me curious regarding my roots so I asked my parents. I was extremely surprised when found out that I'm true-borne Romanian. At first I was disappointed, but now I feel very special. 

Romania was a communist state between the early 1960s and 1989. I'm sure you've heard about Nicolae Ceaușescu. During his presidency, Ceaușescu didn't allow migrants to enter Romania. So this fact could be the reason why I don't have foreign roots.

I am born in a large family. We are four girls and I am the third one. My grandmother is from Liteni, the city where I live together with my family. My father's parents are from different villages. I am proud of my mother's father , my grandfather who was a sculptor, and my dad who was a locomotive mechanic.
