Leaving was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I decided to include it in my post because, while I am not a member anymore, it still has had a huge influence on me for most of my life. There are still things from this religion that I hold dear to my heart.]]> 2021-11-21 02:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/aricord1/vrgvy56szqleiyym/wish/1903981835 aricord1 https://padlet.com/aricord1/vrgvy56szqleiyym/wish/1903983371 I am from the United States! More specifically Sandy, Utah. Growing up in the states has had a big influence on me and my culture. I have learned just how privileged I am to be living in a first-world country. It's taught me a lot about prejudices and accepting other cultures that are different from mine.]]> 2021-11-21 02:46:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aricord1/vrgvy56szqleiyym/wish/1903983371 aricord1 https://padlet.com/aricord1/vrgvy56szqleiyym/wish/1903995470 I have been a music enjoyer my entire life. I am musically talented, getting that from my dad's side of the family. I grew up listening to all kinds of music: Pop, classic rock, country (unfortunately), etc. The biggest influence in my life has been Taylor Swift. It might sound silly, but it's true. My parents introduced me to her when I was 7-ish and it has done so much for me.]]> 2021-11-21 03:09:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aricord1/vrgvy56szqleiyym/wish/1903995470 aricord1 https://padlet.com/aricord1/vrgvy56szqleiyym/wish/1904002356 I have been singing since before I could talk (they were just random infant-like sounds.) Singing has brought me so much peace in my life and is one of my main ways of coping. Being able to connect to a song, in many ways, has saved my life.]]> 2021-11-21 03:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aricord1/vrgvy56szqleiyym/wish/1904002356 aricord1 https://padlet.com/aricord1/vrgvy56szqleiyym/wish/1904006087 Not necessarily the TV show, but my friends in real life. Growing up I didn't have too many friends and often was alone during recess. Now I treasure the friends I do have and am thankful for the influence they've had on me. My friends are closer to me than my own family and I love them dearly.]]> 2021-11-21 03:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/aricord1/vrgvy56szqleiyym/wish/1904006087
