Multicultural agents and perspectives by Renata De Aquino Hernández https://padlet.com/a01732888/xlwa3bikrc0vs9wh Renata's journal en-us 2020-08-12 15:37:05 UTC 2026-02-22 22:00:44 UTC hello@padlet.com Identity a01732888 https://padlet.com/a01732888/xlwa3bikrc0vs9wh/wish/677306395 I was given my name because my grandfather´s name is René and for some reason, people used to called him "Renato" as if both names were from the same family. It means reborn or born again.

I like my name because I think it has a great personality and it is strong but if you want you can make it sweet.
I dislike my name because despite I don't know a lot of people with my name it is becoming very popular among modern mothers for their babies. Also, people sometimes call me "Reni" or "Rena" and i hate it, i think that´s not me and i don't identify even a little with that nicknames.

My name is a good fit for my personality because i have a strong character and i identify perfectly with my name, i can be sweet bur at the same time i can be strong, i have a very extroverted side but also an introvert side.

My name doesn't generate a lot of assumptions but the only thing I can remember is that sometimes people who don't know me think they have my personality unscrambled for how it sounds for them.

My name never changes my behavior i think one thing doesn't have anything to do with the other, my name doesn't change my personality.

I usually wake up at 7:15 am (10), I make me an easy breakfast or a milkshake (4), then I brush my teeth(2) and change my clothes into a sports outfit (6), I take my 7:30 class(8) and then I have a break from 8:30 to 9:30, honestly I sleep that entire hour. (1) At 9:30 I take my french class, then I exercise from 10:30 to 12:30 (5) and take a shower (3), I continue with my classes until 5:00 pm.

  • Which choices do you make in your morning routine that might affect people’s opinions of you?  My clothes selection, my sleepy face...
  • What assumptions might someone make about your identity based on these choices? My lifestyle, the things I like, and my desires. 
  • What might happen if you made different choices one morning? How could making a different choice in your hairstyle, fashion, or another aspect of your routine affect how people look at you? People will always judge you if you change something, or even if you don´t change anything. 
  • Describe a time in your life when your concerns about how you would be perceived by others affected a decision you made. In middle school, I used to concerned a lot about what people think of me, so I dressed exactly the same as my friends and I acted like them, even if that wasn't me. 
  • Who are the people with whom you can be and show your truest self? Who are you when you are with them? In what ways do they give you the confidence to just be you? From a time to here I try to be myself every moment with any person but when I'm with my friends, my true friends I don't have to force it, it becomes natural because our personalities matches and I think they will never judge me. 
  • What are you passionate about? How do the things you are passionate about help shape who you are? I love sports, and I am passionate about learning new things about the world, learning why things are the way they are.

  • In my near community there are also these problems, Mexico is a rich ecosystem country and a lot of indiginous communities live in the forests that many large companies explode in search of money, as it also happens in panama. These communnities are also fighting against more causes together with climate change, such like the discrimination and the recognizing of their community. They are giving an important message about protecting their culture and the richness of the environment, as well as the importance of the conservation of the ecosystem. To have a development we don't have to take into account only the economic development, because there is a lot of social exclusion in the world and many times the environment is not taken into account because of the fact that we live in a sociaty where money is more important than protect the environment,  these leads to an unbalanced development.

  • How this issue impacts me and my community
    • Developing countries are facing a migration crisis, people is searching for a better quality life and Mexico is not an eception. In Mexico we all know a story of someone close to you who has emigrated in search of opportunities, if not you have experienced it yourself. We have one of the most developed countries as a neighbor, this is why obviously since we were little we have the thorn that we could have a better life in another country.
