THE STORY OF MY PARENTS 

My dad's name is Jesus Elias Florez, he is the first son of three brothers. My father was born in a difficult time where the armed conflict, the guerrillas, the war was still everywhere. He told me how his friends or acquaintances of his were taken by the guerrillas or found dead. My dad grew up around many shocking stories. Also he is a person who loves history, politics and the news, he knows about all the events in history and although he did not have the opportunity to study at the university, he would have liked to study political science. Now my father's role within the family was to be responsible for his siblings and not have study or emotional support from my grandfather. For this reason, his role in the family was help and work for the house. He is a cold person, and he rarely shows how he feels.

My mother, her name is Luz Dary, is a kind, cheerful and outgoing person. She is the first daughter of four brothers, my mother's life was not easy, my grandfather insulted and mistreated my grandmother, my grandfather did not love my mother because she was not a man. My mother lived in the countryside and from a very young age she had to learn to cook, work and take care of my grandfather. She didn't have a study opportunity, but still she likes to learn everything.

My parents' stories help me understand that reality that is still present in society, issues such as the armed conflict, rejection, social roles,  lack of opportunities, discrimination etc..

Sometimes words are not enough if they are not accompanied by an expression such as: a look, a gesture, a movement, a position. These patterns that I recognize in my siblings help me to understand them, to know or not know them, to recognize when they want to say or not say something, this secret language allows me to communicate with them. ]]> 2023-05-10 23:52:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2586191234 jflorezt11 https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2587289788 Throughout my life I have lived in Bogotá, a chaotic, cultural city, with a mysterious and melancholic vibe. In this city I have known many places where I contemplated moments of joy and sadness. I remember that when I was little, my grandmother, whose name is Luz, she take me with her to walk downtown and then we were going to eat fruit salad and ice cream on some corner of the city. I really loved to do that plan with her. For me, this city, even though it is chaotic and dangerous, the city and the people resist. ]]> 2023-05-11 14:20:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2587289788 jflorezt11 https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2587378602 For those friends who save you in those moments of loneliness, tiredness and sadness. Supporting each other is important to keep us strong, to bring joy, to enjoy youth, to reflect and cry about sometimes not knowing what is going to happen with our lives. Therefore, it is important to support, listen and understand each other, to get through those bad times and enjoy life as well. Hope see u girls in the future,I whish u the best! Hope each one of you overcome all the difficult timess!

- I love observe how each one of you grow up!]]> 2023-05-11 15:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2587378602 jflorezt11 https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2595420655 Thanks to my mother.

I am someone who respects others, who is aware of the diversity of the world and that each person has different experiences, worldviews, anecdotes, customs, beliefs and regardless of these differences, there is something that always connects us, it can be feelings, history or the simple fact of being human beings.]]> 2023-05-18 01:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2595455761 jflorezt11 https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2603367994 A veces el bajón demora en irse y yo ando de pérdida en pérdida, pierdo  lo que encuentro, no encuentro lo que busco, y siento mucho miedo de que se me caiga la vida en alguna distracción.

The world sometimes for me is a scary place!! When I listen the news, stories, conversations etc.. My day just get worse, I feel sad hearing about those painful, sadness, awful stories. Some people make this world a creepy place.  Everything affects me, this feeling goes through my soul!!!
I think a big problem right now is anxiety or a constant feeling of worry or sadness. Now due to technology, new trends or idealizations, children and young people feel overwhelmed about how their bodies should be, act or look better. It is important to pay attention to these new patterns that globalization brings to help raise awareness that this is not right.]]> 2023-05-25 06:16:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2604378218 jflorezt11 https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2604379010 2023-05-25 06:17:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2604379010 jflorezt11 https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2604388121 Treat others with respect, help people, provide knowledge and love, bring yourself growth.
The ICC class helped me a lot to understand, learn and be critical of what is around me. It is about going beyond stereotypes, accents, preferences, etc. It is about being critical, understanding other realities that make me reflect and being able to be part of a change, it is a class that transforms my way of seeing the world, people, society and communication. It is a political, social and personal act to learn about ICC.]]> 2023-05-25 06:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2604388121 jflorezt11 https://padlet.com/jflorezt11/qxiwlqczmzreqjus/wish/2604393456 Always in a process of self-construction.
