Sure when it comes to school there is always a teacher to blame for our failures, but in all reality it all comes down to the work I am willing to put in. At a young age as I am in, my parents may also be put to blame due to the lack of freedom I have because obviously, I am under age, but I feel that the things I really want to do are up to me to accomplish and at times I do stand in my own way. The quote reflects that anything I really want to do I can do, but it is all a matter of whether I believe in myself or not. ]]> 2016-12-11 23:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143025515 398919 https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143025983 Music has always been a huge part of my life. I feel as if the music we listen to tells a little bit about how every single one of us is. With music, I have formed various bonds with people I never imagined I'd get along with. This being so, it has helped my social life grow in positive, helpful ways. In the past, music has helped me get through rough times in my life due to my connection to an artist's life or the way in which listening to it made me feel. ]]> 2016-12-11 23:44:21 UTC https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143025983 398919 https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143026868 I attended my first concert in February of 2016 which was actually quite recently. There, I fell in love with the vibes. When I go to a show I feel free to dance with complete strangers and not feel judged. The people at all the shows I have attended have been so free spirited and cool with one another and although there is a few rude people as is expected, they really don't matter. When I go to a show I feel free of all worries and it's pretty awesome. ]]> 2016-12-12 00:04:20 UTC https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143026868 398919 https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143027737 I began to actually like running in the summer of 8th grade. Before that, I would just run because I had to for school and was trying to do good. There are time in which I lose motivation for going out for a run, but I am trying to fix that. I am hoping to join track and field and I know that'll motivate me to do better due to the competitiveness of the sport. ]]> 2016-12-12 00:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143027737 398919 https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143028247 I have always loved nature; and I'm guessing that derives from growing up with trees all over my backyard and my dad being a gardener. Nature is a representation of the beauty in the world and to me that is truly wonderful. It upsets me to see trees being torn down to build more buildings when there are various abandoned buildings that can be brought back to life. I see nature as a symbolization of myself when I am living my life to the fullest. ]]> 2016-12-12 00:33:18 UTC https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143028247 398919 https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143029086 I believe my style, or any persons style symbolizes individuality. I feel as if style is not only what a person wears, but also their way of being. I have come to the realization that wearing clothe that I feel good about myself in allows me to more openly express my way of being; therefore making me more comfortable in my now skin. Sure I may not have the most expensive clothing or top brand clothing, but I do know is that I feel good in what I wear and that is all that actually matters.]]> 2016-12-12 00:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143029086 398919 https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143030458 I don't really know the reason for which I want to go to NYU if I'm being quite honest. Ever since I first heard of the university it caught my attention more than any other colleges and universities have. I am not sure if in a few years I'll want to do something completely different with with my life after highschool, but right now I know for a fact that I would like to attend a four year university and hope for the best. ]]> 2016-12-12 01:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143030458 398919 https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143034272 To me, this song represents me growing to the person I am today from when I was a child. It is important because to me, the song is a symbolization of transforming into a completely different person than I was even a year ago. It shows the way in which I was afraid and too timid to speak about what I truly believed in. I was oblivious to the way in which others would act towards me and built a shell through which no one could go in. It also shows the way in which I tried to find myself last year. I would become so upset because i didn't know who I was. I feel a lot of that has to do with me growing up more quickly but I have now realized that it's okay to not know who you are and this song helped me come to that realization. ]]> 2016-12-12 02:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143034272 398919 https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143036557 Day of the Dead is a two day holiday which originated in Mexico to celebrate the death of our loved ones. On the first date, November 1st, the death of the children who passed away is celebrated while on November 2nd, the death of adults is celebrated. The image below is a symbolization of the dead person's skull. In order to honor the dead, those who loved them offer to them gifts, sugar skulls, marigolds, sweetbreads, etc. Day of the Dead is arguably the most important holiday my Mexican culture hence it's beginning over 3,000 years ago.]]> 2016-12-12 03:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143036557 398919 https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143042217 Through this assignment, I learned that I am quite passionate about saving the environment and helping do something to work towards equality for all. I came to the realization of how different my view points are now compared to how they were as little as a year ago. I saw through this project the way in which I have grown and become more humble and appreciative for what I have. ]]> 2016-12-12 06:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/398919/oyqzkfow6x8x/wish/143042217
