Nostalgia by OLHA MOROZ https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4 Memories about my country en-us 2021-04-05 16:45:12 UTC 2023-07-28 23:25:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/23f3.png The first thing that I miss is the culture of my country that is so colorful and bright. For example, we have beautiful national clothes and when we have a big holiday or festival or people always dress it. They sing a lot of songs and dance throughout the whole day or days. However, my favorite tradition is that you cant leave this even without any present( like a piece of cake, alcohol or souvenir that reminds you about this day). morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1383966284 2021-04-05 17:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1383966284 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1383975548 2021-04-05 17:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1383975548 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1383980914 2021-04-05 17:11:13 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1383980914 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1383994370 2021-04-05 17:14:19 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1383994370 Another thing that I miss is my friends and family. I often used to spend time with them and travel to beautiful cities of Ukraine. We went to a lot of museums, cinemas, restaurants and historic places. My memories anoint that period of life always warm my heart and soul. morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1387286791 2021-04-06 14:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1387286791 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1387291557 2021-04-06 14:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1387291557 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1387295970 2021-04-06 14:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1387295970 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1387307016 2021-04-06 14:11:28 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1387307016 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1387311556 2021-04-06 14:12:20 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1387311556 American "How are you?" morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1417342345 In school, I always hear from my teacher “Hi! How are you!”. I respond to him but he always walked away without my answering. For half of the year, I always was confused about it until one moment. I started to watch a lot of videos on YouTube about American traditions, mentality, slang, etc. In one of those videos I heard that “Hi! How are you!” it’s just a basic way to say hello and you don’t need to actually tell how do you feel. AAAA! My eyes were like 2 quarters! For that moment I started to understand Mr. Stahl a little bit more. ]]> 2021-04-14 16:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1417342345 The time when I felt different from others morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1435362051 When I moved to the USA a few years ago, I felt so different. New country, language, rules/laws, and even people. I perceived everything around me like another planet that flys somewhere in the university. First 5 months, I was totally alone and everything that I heard and saw around me was “Aliens of America”. When someone spoke to me on the street, I just moved my head and ran away. I guess they tried to ask me about time or the name of the street, but everything that I knew perfectly is the phrase “Sorry, I don’t speak English”. I felt more than different, I felt like a dark spot on the new white T-shirt for $200. ]]> 2021-04-19 22:07:13 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1435362051 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1435406916 2021-04-19 22:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1435406916 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1435408702 2021-04-19 22:30:48 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1435408702 Time when someone tried to diminish me morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1460527810 When I was a little girl, I always wanted to learn how to use a gun and just a weapon in general. My whole family, techers, and friends were shocked about it as I was a girl in 6th grade. They were not agree that it is the right hobby for me. Only my father supported me at that moment and I dont know where, but he bright a big gan and showed me how to shoot. It was fun, especially when I shot at plats that were not mine. In the end, my father let me join the special club in the school and I finally did what I really wanted. ]]> 2021-04-26 16:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1460527810 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1460538011 2021-04-26 16:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1460538011 Time when I was without parents. morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1490552610 When I was 6 years old I went to the first grade and every right to the school I had by myself. In America, you should be with your child until 12. However, in my home country, the situation is different. I always went to the park with my friends without a phone or anything, but I always back home. Parents or just family members educate us about strangers and unfamiliar people, and what we should do when they talk to us or call on the action. No one in my group of friends disappeared and we all became alive 18-23 years old adults.]]> 2021-05-04 16:36:48 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1490552610 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1490562737 2021-05-04 16:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1490562737 morozolha https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1490582386 2021-05-04 16:42:12 UTC https://padlet.com/morozolha/lyaytmv31mcjmei4/wish/1490582386
