My Visual Diary by Samantha G https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j Made with Love ♡ en-us 2021-10-18 02:15:22 UTC 2025-10-02 17:15:12 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f917.png Changes. girl. samantha94lammy https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1822994326 This is an art piece in my room that I love and decorated with lights to represent light in times of darkness. In the background is a ballerina facing away, which to me represents times like these such as not seeing people's faces behind their masks. I find meaning in this picture because it symbolizes that even when times get really dark or lonely like through COVID-19, things will brighten back up.]]> 2021-10-18 02:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1822994326 Feelings. samantha94lammy https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823043656 This art piece is from The AGO when I visited with my classmates and met many of them for the first time. This piece I find represents different emotions, I feel we all have had to deal with through these tough times! Some of them are happy, thinking, sad and confused. COVID-19 has been a rollercoaster of emotions for us all and I felt this piece speaks to that.]]> 2021-10-18 03:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823043656 Kitty Naps. samantha94lammy https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823097261 This is Milo Greenberg and he is my 7 month old baby boy.

He brightened up my world the day I got him and has constantly given my life more meaning. Everyday I wake up to someone to cuddle, feed and just get my day started. I see this as a life changing moment as I am now a pet owner and mom to a cute kitten who is my responsibility. Since I have been in school from home throughout COVID I was getting really lonely and things started to feel really grey. Therefore, I made this picture black and white because things were stated to feel dark before getting him. I also like how the picture focuses your attention on him, as mine usually is :). ]]> 2021-10-18 03:42:15 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823097261 My Office. samantha94lammy https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823142431 This is my office...a lot changed during COVID-19 so I needed a space to work! For two year this has been where I spend most of my time doing school work. I love my office but it would have been so nice to meet new friends!]]> 2021-10-18 04:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823142431 Canadian family spends 5 days in quarantine colouring every brick on driveway with chalk! samantha94lammy https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823143936 This is an amazing story!

I got so bored during COVI-19 I decided to take on my own project and ended up getting featured in the news around the world, while making some money. I did this all by putting chalking my entire driveway for 5 days and putting my video on Reddit where I got emailed to sell my video to share around the world. This was the end result. Here's the what the article said and a link to their site! 

"Toronto resident Samantha G has spent five whole days colouring every single brick on her driveway with chalk in support of frontline health workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Drone footage shows the epic scale of the project, which she took on with her sisters in an effort to show support to frontline workers.

Samantha told Newsflare: "Recently, my sisters have been coloring for five days on our driveway with chalk to send out a supportive and encouraging message to frontline workers, due to their hard work and dedication to helping others.

"In return, we thought a great idea would be to show our dedication by creating an art project people can relate to and recreate.

"We strongly believe that showing our support would encourage others to do the same. Instead of being cooped up in the house, my sisters decided to put a positive spin on quarantine and create a vibrant project that would be fun for the whole family to take part in.

"It took us a while to get started because we were waiting for the good weather."

Woohoo! What a success!]]> 2021-10-18 04:08:35 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823143936 Scary. samantha94lammy https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823155519 This is a photo of me in the alone in the hospital because the staff would not let anyone else in with me. I was so sick and having severe stomach problems....it was terrible. I wanted so badly to have my mom by my side. So I took this picture for her. This just shows how times have changed as you can see me surrounded by people in masks and glass shields. This wasn't the worst part of my stay considering when I got admitted I was not able to see my siblings. I was there for four days and they had a two person rule max which had to be the same two people visiting! CRAZY and SCARY!]]> 2021-10-18 04:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823155519 The Future. samantha94lammy https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823164037 This is a picture of a child all covered up at school on crazy hat day. To me represents the future because children are the future and masks seem to be as well. To be able to teach at this school and work with this students I had to make changes to not only what I wear, how I act (enforcing rules) and how I moved around the room (due to physical distancing). Today all children need to wear masks in school, what a big change.]]> 2021-10-18 04:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823164037 PPE. samantha94lammy https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823168192 Personal protective equipment (PPE) has become a daily sighting. This is me in placement last semester in my PPE. It represents how times have changed and how normal this picture has become. This is one of the biggest changes I have seen in my daily life because it is now normal to see people all covered up in masks and face shields at work or even at school.]]> 2021-10-18 04:23:20 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823168192 School. Research. samantha94lammy https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823171542 Here's a look into my school life and what my bed usually looks like when I get deep into work. I like to have my papers all printed out around me as I am not great with technology and keeps everything in one place. This pictures represents me working on my research paper, when usually I would be in the library. Due to COVID we have all had to make changes like new study habits. Overall, I have changed in regards to COVID-19 considering I have had to rely on technology for school and work. 

Ps. There is a sticky note if you look closely to show my old school habits even though the laptop has the option to make a sticky note on the screen!]]> 2021-10-18 04:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/samantha94lammy/s5ucyn7wjlyyxp1j/wish/1823171542 How are you finding meaning in these challenging times?
