I took this picture a while back when I went to china for a basketball tournament and I decided to use it even though is an old picture. This picture has helped me a lot going through hard times, whenever I feel sad or things aren't going right I look at this picture and I just remember how it felt being there and how much better it made me feel. it makes me forget about my problems and for the time I was there it felt like everything was okay. the second picture has a very similar feeling but the only difference is that this one is back home in puerto rico. I needed to come back to this state of mind before doing this interview because I have to be strong this topic is not easy for me. ]]> 2019-02-14 19:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/331471599 walkerjo21 https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/331497276 2019-02-14 19:49:12 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/331497276 walkerjo21 https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/331507882 For this assignment I decided to interview my mother because we have been through a lot together and I have been thinking about myself a lot and haven't had the time to ask her how she is doing. 2 years ago my grandma passed away and I wanted to ask her because its her mom. she said that losing her mom was a feeling that doesn't compare to anything, is the worst feeling because you feel you don't have anything else left in your life, you feel like its your time to go as well. talking to her I could feel her getting angry because she said that it was too soon and unexpected for her to passed. she also mention how she was thinking about me a lot because I was really close to her and I wasn't home I was In california and she didn't know how to call me and tell me what happened. this interview was very hard for m because my mom is a strong women and seeing her cry the way she was crying it really broke my heart because she always wanted to be strong in every situation so I can be strong when it happens to me. I am actually so glad that I picked my mom for this because I can already tell if I did it with anyone else it would've been awkward. I feel like this helped me know my mom in another way and I am happy about it and grateful that she trust me the way she do. ]]> 2019-02-14 20:10:52 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/331507882 walkerjo21 https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/341005071 1. the interview started sad but then it gradually got better and better not because the conversation got happy but that we were understanding each other. 2. I learned that no matter how hard life is or gets we have to keep going because life doesn't stop. 3. I learned that I deal with these types of crisis the same way as my mom.]]> 2019-03-13 17:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/341005071 walkerjo21 https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/341546636 1. my mom describing her crisis and struggles with grief and death was probably the hardest thing I have ever heard or felt. she described it as being empty and also feeling like there is nothing else left. losing her mom and her brother was why she felt like she had no purpose anymore. she said she didn't know if she wanted to cry or punch the wall. 2a. when all of this happened I went home to take her and make sure she was okay but she wouldn't talk to me or anyone she just wanted to be left alone (this is something I seen for myself she didn't tell me). she lost her job because she didn't want to leave the house for any reason. she said that friends would call her and she wouldn't answer for a long time so those friendships started to fade away she said. 2b. she said that she felt like she didn't wasn't important in the world anymore and that she needs to be with them and that was only until she saw me her whole attitude change because she had forgot that I was still there, she was so sad and blind that she forgot I was there. 2c. her mom had cancer and because of that reason she was praying everyday for her mom to be okay and to leave her here longer but when she passed away she felt like god didn't exist and that she was praying for no reason, but then she realized she was wrong and went to church and her relationship with god got way better. when all of this was happening she was really struggling and couldn't pay a lot of stuff and she had more pressure on her and that's why me and my dad told her to stay home and we took care of everything else so she could rest. ]]> 2019-03-14 21:24:13 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/341546636 walkerjo21 https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/341558426 2019-03-14 22:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/341558426 walkerjo21 https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/341558650 2019-03-14 22:21:25 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/341558650 walkerjo21 https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/341559085 photovoice ]]> 2019-03-14 22:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/341559085 walkerjo21 https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/355821612 1a- the beginning of this interview started out well until I asked the first question. the first question was how have other supported you and she said that everyone was trying to help out in anyway they could and she was grateful for that but the only person she needed help with was me and I wasn't there for her and that made me feel terrible. 2b- my mom is a strong women in front of people but when she is behind doors she always cries, but at my grandmas funeral my mom seen a good friend of hers that grew up together with her and knew my grandma very well, when my mom saw her they hugged and the friend said " sis she is really gone ?" and my mom lost it and started crying in front of everyone and that was the first time I have seen her break down like that in front of everyone. 2a- I asked my mom what she was missing when this was happening and she said she needed me but I wasn't there not because I didn't want to but because I was in california. 2b- my mom didn't need anything said from anyone she just needed to be alone. 3a- for this question she said that the only thing that gives her hope is me and that I will do great things in life. 3b- she has never lost hope. 4- for this question she said that yes it is painful to lose someone but I got to understand that life continues and I cannot just sit at home and do nothing just because I'm sad because it will affect everything else. ]]> 2019-05-01 15:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/355821612 walkerjo21 https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/355834858 2019-05-01 15:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/355834858 walkerjo21 https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/355836507 2019-05-01 15:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/walkerjo21/lrl6l6alrztn/wish/355836507
