New Years Padlet Project by Sandra Garcia Quintero https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq Made with an open mind en-us 2020-01-08 17:28:21 UTC 2020-01-15 18:28:00 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f347.png New years is a holiday in which we all gather together with our family and friends to celebrate the end of the year and to celebrate the coming of a new one. A tradition that people from the U.S participate in is gathering together to watch "The Ball" drop. "The ball" is a giant ball that drops on 11:59 going on to 12:00 to represent the coming of a new year. Some places where you could go see the ball drop is in New York and Hawaii. Another U.S. tradition Americans participate in is when the clock hits 12:00 they give their significant other a new years kiss. Dressing formally and sharp is also a tradition they do to feel good about coming into the new year. garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/429588276 2020-01-09 17:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/429588276 garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/429609223 2020-01-09 17:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/429609223 Although some U.S. traditions seem quite simple and common there are some that aren't. A tradition that's also done when celebrating New Years is popping fireworks. They pop fireworks as a way to celebrate the end of the new year and to let go of the "bad spirits" or stress that has been built up throughout that year. Popping a bottle of champagne and sharing it with those around them is also a tradition that's done on new year. Last but not least is "new years resolutions" . This is one that i'm always most exited for because it makes me feel as if I have a new start, a new opportunity to change myself for the better. garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/429609623 2020-01-09 17:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/429609623 Although both the U.S.A and Columbia celebrate New Years there are some differences. One major difference between Columbias traditions is that when the clock hits 12 they eat 12 grapes for their wishes and goals to come true for the new year.(They typically dance salsa) garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/430128752 2020-01-10 17:53:00 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/430128752 Another tradition they celbrate that's different than us in the U.S is they gather up in a place called "Cartagena" and they dance and dance to celebrate the new year. garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431746706 2020-01-15 09:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431746706 Usually us in the U.S celebrate New Years Eve and New Years. In Columbia they have a whole week in honor of the new year. It is a very great way to celebrate the upcoming of the new year with you family and friends. the fair is called "Feria de Manizales". The fair also follows into the beginning of January. garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431748409 2020-01-15 09:31:34 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431748409 On New Years (Eve) a famous Columbian drink that is made and served is what's called "Caspiroleta Colombiana". This is made on the warmer side for the cold. People drink this with their meals and sometimes alone. garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431750282 2020-01-15 09:38:07 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431750282 A special plate that is served in Colombia on New Years is what is know as "Mom’s Colombian Tamales". These can also be drank along with the Caspiroleta Colombiana which is a hot Colombian punch. These are one of the main dishes served on new years. garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431751655 2020-01-15 09:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431751655 In this video we can see the four main traditions done by Colombians. Some traditions they do are kind of strange like wearing yellow underwear on new years. It seems strange to us because typically what we do for New Years is dress formally, eat and have a good time with our loved ones. Meanwhile Colombians are more detailed when it comes to celebrating the New Year. garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431753699 2020-01-15 09:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431753699 garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431755019 2020-01-15 09:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431755019 Last Year I honestly thought it was my year because I had so many blessings. To start of with many people were removed from my life and at the moment I did not understand why but now that I look back I realize that it was destined to happen. Last year I feel was the year I struggled most because I thought I could control everything, and I always had the fear of failing which limited me am my goals. Last year was also the most draining to me because that's when school and life started to get more stressful. I have never felt more stressed in my entire life than I did in the ending of 2019. 2019 was the hardest year because that is the year where I "detoxed" myself. I feel like everything negative that had to happen is left in 2019. garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431755385 2020-01-15 09:55:45 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431755385 No matter how stressful and draining last year was I would not change it for the world. Last year taught me that life does not stop for you. If you are stressed keep going if your sad pick yourself up and keep going because if not you will not grow. Last year also taught me that anything is possible if you pour your heart and soul into it. I'm hoping that in 2020 there is nothing but good times with those who I truly love. garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431757358 2020-01-15 10:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431757358 To get in shape : garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431758373 The steps I will take is set a weight goal and go to the gym to get to where I want to get
Be nicer to my family (more patience) :
In order for this to happen the first step to be taken is realizing that I should treat people the way I would want people to treat me. I also need to think before I speak to not hurt others emotions.]]> 2020-01-15 10:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431758373 This song truly relates to me because it reminds me of how far my family and I have come over the past year. It also reminds me of how blessed I am to be where I am. garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431760333 2020-01-15 10:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431760333 garciaquinteros83202 https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431763175    If you were to ask me how 2019 was I would say tough 100%. It was the HARDEST year that I have ever been through. Last year I did accomplish so many goals but my mind was not healthy. I spent so much time chasing my goals and became so obsessed with wanting to reach them that there came a point in which I forgot why I was doing them. I felt like I wasn’t doing enough and I felt like I could've done so much more. Now that I look back I am so proud of myself because I really did and accomplished what I wanted to. I feel as if 2019 was the year where I got most of the hardest things out of the way and I feel as if 2020 is the year of nothing but happiness and good memories. Something that will always stick with me and that 2019 truly taught me is to keep going and that the only person who can stop you and limit you is YOU.]]> 2020-01-15 10:23:02 UTC https://padlet.com/garciaquinteros83202/ujd7xgk7plyq/wish/431763175
