Add a picture of something that relates to your thoughts, and be sure to put your name on your post. en-us 2023-09-09 14:37:35 UTC 2023-09-24 16:11:48 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2702751252 Memories and photos matter to me, whether it's with my family, friends, coworkers, or dogs. Memories can go such a long way in life especially when we lose those close to us. I chose a photo with polaroids which can share more than one memory we keep safe, or a moment we can tell a whole story about just off one photo. Being happy, enjoying the time we have, and especially being less angry about things we cannot control. Precious little moments matter to me.

They are always with me for the good and the bad. My family always supports me in everything I do. Knowing that no matter what happens in life, my mom, nana, aunts, uncles and cousins will always be there with me. Family is the most precious to me that will always be there unlike monetary things.]]> 2023-09-14 00:58:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2702995101 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2707006055 What matters to me is travel and exploring new places. In addition, being able to find time to relax, which travel can be a great way to do this. The reason this is important to me is because we should all be able to enjoy some leisure time especially if life gets very busy or overwhelming.
Creating new memories and documenting it is also a plus, being able to look back at past great experiences is so comforting to me. 
This is what matters most to me. ]]> 2023-09-16 19:42:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2707006055 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2707545367 Life is short, and we only have one. For me, a bucket list really matters because it is a combination of goals and accomplishments I want to achieve throughout my life. It gives me something to wake up in the morning and something to strive for. You can add pretty much anything to a bucket list, and I think more people should have them. I think people are scared to fail. Trying to cross off something from their bucket list, you can learn something and get better results next time. Setting goals is important in life if you want to get stuff done, and I love having very ambitious goals that people think I am not capable of achieving, so I can prove them wrong. ]]> 2023-09-17 17:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2707545367 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2707890890 Music is important to me because it is basically how I function. I listen to music pretty much all day everyday except for when i"m sleeping obviously. But music will always be there for me and I can find so many different songs and genres to enjoy. Everyday can have a different feeling depending on the music I'm listening to. I like to wake up and get ready to music, make food, and do schoolwork listening to music. Sometimes I get distracted but for the most part it helps me concentrate more when using it as background noise.]]> 2023-09-18 01:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2707890890 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2709384110 For me, my family and my friends mean so much to me. I am so incredibly lucky to be surrounded by people who love and support my every move and I don't know what I would do without them. With them, I don't have to second guess my actions and can simply just be my true self and that's something that for me doesn't come easily. They are the backbone of who I am as a person and when I am around any of them I find myself in this peace and calm state that I don't have with other people. I also find that when I am with my friends and my family that we can just be together even if it is just in silence and being able to surround myself with people who bring me this joy is really incredible.]]> 2023-09-18 18:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2709384110 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2709425197 Quality time with my friends and family is something that truly matters to me. I know how limited our time is here on earth, so I try to make the most of each moment  with the people I love. During my senior year of high school, I realized that my friends and I will probably never live in the same city ever again. This made me take in all of the memories I have with them and to remind myself how valuable time is with them. I still keep in touch with my best friends by calling them regularly and trying to visit them once in a while. My family and I are very close and we love to do things together. My favorite memories are of us going on vacations and experiencing different parts of the world. We often have family nights where we have dinner all together and watch movies. I try to never take my family and friends for granted because they are the people who have shaped me into who I am today.  ]]> 2023-09-18 19:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2709425197 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2710198995 One of the thing that matters to me is music I listen to all types of genre of music from the 60's to present. I love that any , song can go from happiness, sadness, to love, to drinking and or even going out to dating someone. you can feel the pain, heartache, happiness, and being hungover. I guess you can say I am a collector of music, I have a huge collection of vinyl records and 8 tracks, some of you wouldn't know what those are but let me tell you, their is a sense of how it was when music was discovered. So whenever I hear a song that I know and love it can put life into perspective for me and I can go about my day with happiness. ]]> 2023-09-19 06:00:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2710198995 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2710265404 Painting is important to me as it allows me to analyze and understand my own art as well as the works of other artists. Through painting, I am able to gain self-awareness and explore the depths of my thoughts and emotions. I seize every opportunity to draw, whether it be on my desk, iPad, or various types of canvas. Painting provides me with a profound sense of fulfillment and purpose, as I recognize the significant impact it has on my life. In essence, painting holds a special place in my heart as it enables me to express myself and connect with the world around me.]]> 2023-09-19 06:42:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2710265404 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2711233319 One of the most important things to me is memories and experiences. I love music and being able to see it live especially with my friends and family. Experiences with those I love turn into fond memories that I can look back on. Music is so important to me because it allows you to feel indescribable emotions and can also make you feel understood. Being able to share those things with my friends only make me closer to them. All my friends are so valuable to me because I understand I am so fortunate to be so close with them now at this time in our lives. It is so important to do fun things with them like travel to see our favorite artists, or stay up all night to watch a new music video and though it seems invaluable to others, those memories we create together I will forever cherish. ]]> 2023-09-19 17:02:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2711233319 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2711253085 My Friends and family are important to me because they constantly love and support me. My dad has never missed any of my volleyball games and was always there. My mom and I are so close and no matter what she constantly makes me feel loved and lets me know that she is proud of me. My sister is my best friend and being able to watch her grow up makes me so happy. I have a lot of aunts and uncles and I don't get to see them all the time so when er are all together, we try to maximize the time we have together. My best friend and her family are like family to me. They call me their second daughter. I love my family and all the memories I have with them.
That is what truly matters to me. ]]> 2023-09-19 17:14:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2711253085 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2711297169 My family is the one thing that truly matters to me. I am very grateful to have a good relationship with my family as I know some are not as fortunate. My mom and dad have always been there for me and my sister. They have also sacrificed so much to give me and my sister a better life growing up than they had. My younger sister is my best friend and never fails to make me laugh. She is the one person I can truly be myself with. As an older sister, I didn't have any older siblings to look up to but my older cousins are like my older siblings. They have always supported me and and the advice that they have given me and the memories that I have made with them will last me a lifetime. My family is the main reason I am who I am today and I am forever grateful for them. ]]> 2023-09-19 17:41:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2711297169 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2711654095 My loved ones mean the world to me, that's what truly matters to me. The relationship I have with my parents and friends is beyond measure. The memories we've made together are priceless treasures that I cherish deeply. I feel incredibly blessed to have such a strong support system. Their love and support have been a constant source of comfort and strength in my life. Whether it's celebrating milestones or navigating through challenges, they have always been there for me.

There's nothing better than hangout out with them and messing around. We all support each other but we also mess with each other and it's always a great time. I cherish my time with my friends because I know that it will not always be the same as we grow older]]> 2023-09-20 01:23:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2711805562 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2712264213 What truly matters to me is my family and loved ones. My parents are my role model and thank you to them I've accomplished many things that I never thought I would. They have always sacrificed to do anything for me and my siblings because all they want is the best for us. The support and love they have gave us is truly a blessing and I am beyond blessed to have an amazing family. The memories I've had with my family and loved ones when I was younger are something I will never forget. Having a big family is a blessing.]]> 2023-09-20 06:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2712264213 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713206516 For me, my reading time is what truly matters to me.  I could be reading by my desk at home or school.  Or maybe I am reading on a screen or at the library.  When the academic priorities are not overtaking, I usually try to read a magazine article or something similar. If a book is big enough, then I could read it for hours on end.  I enjoy reading academically required readings.  I have a reputation among my parents as a book reader.  My tendency is to read at parties with family and friends. As a result, I usually remember the books more than the conversations. I could spend all day in a library and not get bored. My sense of reading is what I am proud and grateful for.]]> 2023-09-20 17:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713206516 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713539070 What truly matters to me is not taking each moment of my life for granted and enjoying every bit of it. I don't want to someday wake up and realize I wasted my life away. So I think it's important to enjoy everything and not worry too much about the past or the future]]> 2023-09-20 22:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713539070 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713665793 What matters most to me is family over everything as it’s a sign of where I came from and of who shaped me to be who I am today. My 4 brothers have been the most amazing leaders in my life through flames and freeze, and up and downs. i’ve always relied on them either to learn in school through them teaching me or just to get to school. another person who deserves just as much recognition is my mother who has always worked her hardest to give us the best. Apart from my immediate family there is still so much more family that should be shown appreciation as they also helped me with so much in life. My girlfriend and her family have shown so much kindness in accepting me into their family and they’ve also helped me plenty. Family has always helped bring me down to earth at those times where im panicking and don’t know how to handle a situation like recently when i got into a car accident i called my brother and he kept calm and telling me everything was going to be okay. ]]> 2023-09-21 00:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713665793 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713702958 What truly matters to me is my loved ones. They've all done so much for me. My family has supported me through all my endeavors, always there helping with what they can. I cherish all the times they took off work to come see my races or gymnastics meets. They gave me all that I needed to be successful, I could never thank them enough. My friends, I am so thankful for. The time we've spent together has truly been the best. Going out and exploring what life has to offer together has truly given life meaning. I wouldn't trade it for the world. ]]> 2023-09-21 01:15:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713702958 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713706308 What truly matters to me is happiness. I think that without happiness life can be very difficult and feel pointless. Many things make me happy including, my family my friends, and the activities I enjoy doing. Keeping a positive and hardworking attitude even when life gets hard is crucial. I think that being satisfied with yourself and loving your life is the key to being happy. It is important to not compare yourself to others and what they have and focus on what you are thankful for in your life. ]]> 2023-09-21 01:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713706308 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713993639 The future is one thing that really matters to me. However, this covers everything, I care about the future with my family, work, friends, and hobbies. I do everything I can in the present in order to keep the things I have now in the future. I create memories so that I can look back at them with the friends I make now. I try my best at work so I can have the things I need later on. I want my future to have the happiness and success that I am cultivating right now.]]> 2023-09-21 04:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2713993639 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2714007029 Family is something that matters the most to me. They are the people i will go to for anything, i hold so much love and happiness for my family, they are always there for me when i need them and they know i am there when they need me.

She's the one I go to for everything. We're only 2 years apart in age and she is truly my best friend. We just get each other, like she understands me and I understand her. I know that she would support me through anything and everything, vice versa. Even though she is the older sister, I take care of as if I am the older one. ]]> 2023-09-21 05:11:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2714045608 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2714080841 What truly matters to me is my family. I am blessed and grateful to have them. We are all creatives. We support one another and get to collaborate on projects which always deepens our bond. I love our mentality/mindset. I love how driven we are when achieving our goals. We do everything for each other and for the success of our family. To grow and prosper leaving a better place for the next generation. ]]> 2023-09-21 05:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2714080841 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2714171911 Time is what matters most to me. We don't have much of it. Just a few years ago time started to move faster than ever for me, i swear in my memory Christmas was yesterday and now its only a few months away. Today ill fall asleep thinking its an eternity away and tomorrow ill wake up in December. As of late i've realized i don't value time as much as i should but this is something i will prioritize more than ever now.  You can do so much with time–  memories, adventures, achievements, self care, you can do anything really. It doesn't have to be big just a little of your time goes a long way. I'll cherish my time more and see where that takes me. ]]> 2023-09-21 06:40:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2714171911 https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2716893854 My family is my everything. In life, those are the only people you can truly trust and rely on when things aren't going your way. We all want the same in life for everyone to achieve their goals and dreams. I am very lucky to have grown up with an older brother and sister, which makes my life much more fun than being alone. My parents raised me to be a very disciplined and kind young man. They taught me that everything will not always be your way, and that is okay. They taught me how to live and how I would like to live. I am very lucky to have grown up in such a fantastic family and they are what truly matters to me. ]]> 2023-09-22 21:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ttennenhouse/v2tdb944uovzkxo2/wish/2716893854
