Cheer has taught me many things but hard work was definitely one of the biggest. ]]> 2021-01-31 03:31:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jturpi16/jolz9x5iyfl1gcag/wish/1144435023 jturpi16 https://padlet.com/jturpi16/jolz9x5iyfl1gcag/wish/1144435117 This is actually my other job. I am a paraeducator at Cyprus High School. This has made me more compassionate as a person. The kids I work with have made me think so much more of people with disabilities. ]]> 2021-01-31 03:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jturpi16/jolz9x5iyfl1gcag/wish/1144435117 jturpi16 https://padlet.com/jturpi16/jolz9x5iyfl1gcag/wish/1144435228 Even though it is just a job, Dutch has changed my life.

My mother is transgender so I didn't have a strong female role model in the house. I had to find strong female role models in other aspects of my life. One role model I really connected to was my high school math teacher.]]> 2021-01-31 03:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jturpi16/jolz9x5iyfl1gcag/wish/1144435347 jturpi16 https://padlet.com/jturpi16/jolz9x5iyfl1gcag/wish/1144435758 I have dealt with mental illnesses for the majority of my life.
