I tend to be very politically active and really campaign for human rights, eco-friendly energy, low cost education, and other policies that have influenced my life in the U.S.]]> 2021-06-28 17:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kfrehne4/me4x8o0xxj96ydm7/wish/1628707353 kfrehne4 https://padlet.com/kfrehne4/me4x8o0xxj96ydm7/wish/1628726787 I identify as a woman. I have noticed my gender has significantly influenced my life. Gender affects me in both positive and negative aspects. With being a woman I prefer different clothing than other individuals, and find I like to stay closer to societal norms when it comes to my gender. ]]> 2021-06-28 17:31:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kfrehne4/me4x8o0xxj96ydm7/wish/1628726787 kfrehne4 https://padlet.com/kfrehne4/me4x8o0xxj96ydm7/wish/1628740390 Sexuality may be an odd thing to consider as apart of your culture, but for me it has played an important part of my life. When I came out I lost everything, but through connecting with others with similar struggles I created new familial bonds. It has influenced me by helping me advocate for myself and others. Accepting this part of who I was and overcoming the stigma around it really has made me resilient and not tolerate any hatred. ]]> 2021-06-28 17:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/kfrehne4/me4x8o0xxj96ydm7/wish/1628740390 kfrehne4 https://padlet.com/kfrehne4/me4x8o0xxj96ydm7/wish/1628773201 Art has been a key point in my life for years. At 3 years old I started ballet, 6-18 I danced and did choir, I love ceramics, and painting is a talent of mine I am prideful of. For years I have worked so hard to perform and appreciate my own work. Art is a huge influence on my life and inspires me to pursue education. ]]> 2021-06-28 18:12:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kfrehne4/me4x8o0xxj96ydm7/wish/1628773201 kfrehne4 https://padlet.com/kfrehne4/me4x8o0xxj96ydm7/wish/1628782230 I have had a lifelong battle with my mental health. I had anorexia. Anorexia has caused me to get seizures now due to a permanent vitamin defiency, and I almost died. I spent a year in a residential treatment center recovering, and this recovery has motivated me. I am now centering my education around become a social worker to help those who are in residential treatment struggling with recovery. ]]> 2021-06-28 18:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kfrehne4/me4x8o0xxj96ydm7/wish/1628782230
