https://padlet.com/corinnemmecham/corinnescultures Who I am and why I'm who I am. en-us 2018-01-26 00:39:22 UTC 2025-11-18 05:46:14 UTC hello@padlet.com corinnemmecham https://padlet.com/corinnemmecham/corinnescultures/wish/224909039 Being a woman in the 21st Century gives me a sense of identity. There's definitely a bond and understanding on multiple levels between women. I would say that I'm a feminist in my own sense. I take pride in the beauty associated with being a woman, and I also take pride in the strength that I believe all women inherently have. ]]> 2018-01-26 00:47:27 UTC https://padlet.com/corinnemmecham/corinnescultures/wish/224909039 corinnemmecham https://padlet.com/corinnemmecham/corinnescultures/wish/224909045 My faith and membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints shapes who I am as a person morally. When ever I have a question or I'm developing opinions, my faith and relationship in God helps me to determine my actions and how I treat everyone around me.
I serve an LDS mission, and I was married in an LDS temple, and teaching my children one day about my beliefs is a vital priority for me.]]> 2018-01-26 00:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/corinnemmecham/corinnescultures/wish/224909045 corinnemmecham https://padlet.com/corinnemmecham/corinnescultures/wish/224909054 I have been playing violin since I was 9 years old, and later I would play violin, guitar, and sing. I also arranged and wrote music for my high school's theater company, and would compose for other theater productions as well.
Music is my major, and my life! Being a musician creates a bond, and music itself is a language all on it's own! Music surrounds us in our every day lives, and being a creator of music enriches and changes my life every day.]]> 2018-01-26 00:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/corinnemmecham/corinnescultures/wish/224909054 corinnemmecham https://padlet.com/corinnemmecham/corinnescultures/wish/224909146 I'm what some might call "racially ambiguous." I don't know much about my father's side who gave me my middle eastern heritage, he was never a part of my life, and my mother's ethnicity is broadly European, mostly French and Irish.
Being "mixed" has been obviously present my whole life, from people attempting to speak Spanish to me, or others asking me if I'm Polynesian. 
I actually quite enjoy how this makes me unique, though the challenges have also shaped my character.]]> 2018-01-26 00:48:21 UTC https://padlet.com/corinnemmecham/corinnescultures/wish/224909146 corinnemmecham https://padlet.com/corinnemmecham/corinnescultures/wish/224909411 This defines me because it's something I have to work/deal with every day! People use this to describe me, and anyone with curly hair can agree there is a whole world and lifestyle that comes with taking care of curls! It may seem shallow, but my hair really is a big part of me. I think I'm not alone when I say that when my hair feels and looks good, I feel good as well]]> 2018-01-26 00:50:31 UTC https://padlet.com/corinnemmecham/corinnescultures/wish/224909411
