I am grateful for the opportunity to study and improve my quality of life through higher education.]]> 2021-05-11 04:08:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lvela15/xyeqqydkpaxqd3m6/wish/1512034028 lvela15 https://padlet.com/lvela15/xyeqqydkpaxqd3m6/wish/1512045559 My name is Liza Vela and I live in Los Angeles, California. I have recently returned to school after over a decade of only working and not living my full life. I am also a first time mom to my son, currently 8 months.

I am a certified nursing assistant and care for people with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries. I enjoy caring for and helping others; I've decided to include my passion for service in my longterm career goals, only not in a medical, patient care setting. I believe a degree in Human Development will help me continue to serve my community.]]> 2021-05-11 04:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lvela15/xyeqqydkpaxqd3m6/wish/1512045559 lvela15 https://padlet.com/lvela15/xyeqqydkpaxqd3m6/wish/1512066352
I love animals and I love nature. I enjoy riding my bike through nature. 
As a child, my family would always go camping every year, along with weekly hikes and trips to the river or lakes. I would love to continue that tradition with my son and take him camping, and just expose him to all the natural wonder southern California has to offer, year round and through all the seasons. ]]> 2021-05-11 04:29:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lvela15/xyeqqydkpaxqd3m6/wish/1512066352 lvela15 https://padlet.com/lvela15/xyeqqydkpaxqd3m6/wish/1512072371 I grew up in a bilingual home: I am a native Spanish speaker. I love learning different languages and connecting with native speakers. I speak Brazilian Portuguese and am teaching myself French and Russian. 
I would like for my son to be a polyglot. He is Nigerian on his father's side and will learn to communicate with that side of his family.]]> 2021-05-11 04:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lvela15/xyeqqydkpaxqd3m6/wish/1512072371
