I am the youngest of 4. Two older sisters and one older brother. I have lived in El Centro, almost my entire life. My parents are immigrants from Mexico. My first language is Spanish. I grew up with Catholicism being a huge influence in my life.]]> 2023-02-22 20:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491678337 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491687058 My family is very important to me, they are the one who have always been at my side. They supported me when I wanted to go back to school, to get my Teaching Credentials. When I wanted to graduate from College in one thing, but changed my mind on what I wanted to do years later. I'm very fortunate that my parents, sisters, nieces and nephew are always there for me and they are always a priority of mine. ]]> 2023-02-22 20:12:31 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491687058 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491697937 My parents weren't able to get more than an Elementary education in their native country. So they always emphasized the importance of getting an education in whatever I wanted as long I got one. I was always a good student, but never the best. I went through a long period of not being sure what I wanted to do, that's why I got my Bachelor's in Criminal Justice because it seemed interesting enough. It never seemed 100% right, which I why never really pursued it. A year ago, I decided to come back to school to become a teacher like I wanted when I was young.]]> 2023-02-22 20:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491697937 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491707844 I love going to Disneyland, we stopped going for a long time during the pandemic. It took four years after this picture to go again. We went this past December, which was on the bucket list for me because I got to see the Disney Christmas Parade for the first time and probably last time, since there was too many people. I'm happy I got to do it once at least.]]> 2023-02-22 20:35:28 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491707844 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491712126 I love watching the little mermaid and Ariel is still my favorite Disney princess. I always loved her red hair, since red is my favorite color. Every now and then I still love to watch it. Her ride in California Adventure is one of my favorites. Last December, I got on it 4 times with my two nieces and I hope they love her just as much. I'm excited to watch her new live action movie that is coming up. ]]> 2023-02-22 20:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491712126 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491715620 My favorite restaurant is Olive Garden. We usually go for my birthdays. I love the Chicken Alfredo and that my go to order, when I go. Every once in a while I'll try something different, but I usually order the same thing. I know some people say it's not real Italian food, but I have never been to Italy, so how can I know the difference? ]]> 2023-02-22 20:44:40 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491715620 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491720360 My favorite actor right now is Sebastian Stan. He is so handsome to me, but he does so many different roles and he's very good actor. He is in Marvel, but yet he does smaller films that most people have never heard of. He seems very passionate about his work and never being afraid of trying different things, whether people think it's best for your career or not. I find that very it very inspiring. ]]> 2023-02-22 20:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491720360 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491723505 I love to travel and learn about historical building or places. After the pandemic I haven't done much of it lately. I would hope to start again eventually. This is an old church in Guadalajara, where we went 4 years ago. The beaches are nice, but I do love history, so it's nice to visit places where there is a lot of history n old buildings.]]> 2023-02-22 20:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491723505 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491729342 I have a very varied musical taste. I like pop, R&B, reggaeton, some rock, hip hop, English, Spanish, it doesn't really matter, some songs in languages I can't speak or understand. Lately, I've been listening to some 80's music, like this song I heard in a movie called Sharper and I have been listening to it nonstop. Then I get bored of that song and listen to something else nonstop and that how it always happens.]]> 2023-02-22 21:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491729342 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491734510 I love watching marvel movies, I try to watch them on opening day if I can. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is my favorite Marvel movie to date. I like watching most of them , but this one is my favorite. My favorite actor Sebastian Stan is in this trilogy, but it eaves you in suspense and it makes you think about everything that happens in closed doors that we as a public don't know and probably will never find out. Everyone should watch at least once even if you aren't a Marvel fan.]]> 2023-02-22 21:07:58 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491734510 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491737417 Falcon and Winter soldier is my favorite Marvel show. This is a continuation of the Captain America movies, which are my favorites. I still watch from time to time and that's the only Marvel show I continue to watch again. Some parts could have been better, but I still recommend.]]> 2023-02-22 21:12:03 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491737417 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491740043 Even though I love the little Mermaid, this is my favorite Disney movie ever. I still watch it and cry in the same parts, and love the songs. I was hoping to get my nieces and nephews into it, but so far not much luck :( I still watch when I get a chance and I was really disappointed with the live action movie, so the original cartoon movie is the one I still watch when I get a chance.]]> 2023-02-22 21:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491740043 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491752378 I didn't grow up in political household, so I didn't pay much attention to it growing up. However, when I was 18 years old, Barack Obama began his run for president. It was exciting and I became really hopeful for the future and inspired and for the first really informed myself and watch the debates, and listened to the news about the presidential election, It was so new and exciting to me at the time. When he won, it felt like a new age, that wasn't really the case. With time I got annoyed with politics and the way it's covered. I still vote, but I don't pay as much attention as I once did. President Obama is still one of the few politicians I watch and admire.]]> 2023-02-22 21:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491752378 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491756565 Christmas is my favorite holiday and the one I still get excited for. I love buying new ornaments and decorating the Christmas tree with my niece. I love driving around and seeing all the lights that everyone has put up. A neighbor always has the best decorations to me, and I love seeing during the holidays.]]> 2023-02-22 21:38:20 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491756565 grishern1989 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491759837 I started doing my observation hours for my TE 303 class, and just yesterday I received my first drawing from a student. It was so sweet and I will treasure it a lot. It was so thoughtful and I loved it. I told everyone, it times like these that whenever I doubt myself, it reminds me of why I went back to school in the first place and why I want to be a teacher.]]> 2023-02-22 21:43:05 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2491759837 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2493093844 I grew up in a very religious household. Church was a must every Sunday without exceptions. It is still a big influence in my life to this day. I respect other religions and I don't like to argue about religion. I just expect respect for my religion, the way I respect other people's beliefs. Culturally it is so ingrained in me, that I don't think anyone could change that if they tried. ]]> 2023-02-23 20:11:11 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2493093844 https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2493102528 Coming from Mexican parents, being born in the U.S. and being from a border town, I was always in the middle of two cultures. Being bilingual in English and Spanish, growing up eating Mexican and American food, it was great, but confusing at times as well. The older of I've gotten I have embraced my heritage and culture a lot more.]]> 2023-02-23 20:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/grishern1989/xo2hu6at0ilzjbgi/wish/2493102528
