It took him a couple years to finally get settled and have a good income. Before then, my family was in extreme poverty and it was really hard to get any help from anyone. But my dad didn't give up and now he and mom are running a good business and they earn way above the average income in Darien.]]> 2022-05-26 15:04:42 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2200990645 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2200998028 In my house, my parents have power over me. If they ask me to do it, I will never talk back. There has been times were I have but I got a punishment for it and now I never will.]]> 2022-05-26 15:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2200998028 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2200999867 I have two sisters. One is older and one is younger, we are all one year apart. I would say that I have power over my little sister but my older sister has power over both of us. ]]> 2022-05-26 15:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2200999867 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2201004030 At school, any staff has power over me and over every other kid. They can get me in trouble and give me a referal and I cannot argue with them. I also respect my teachers and do not make their job difficult for them.]]> 2022-05-26 15:15:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2201004030 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2201016442 Right now I have limited power. I am still in high school and cannot do things that adults can. A lot of people have power over me especially my parents, but there are also teachers, staff, any elderly, or almost anyone older than me (that I know. I have power over almost any family member younger than me. I will be able to acquire more power when I turn 18  because I will graduate, I will be independent, away from home, I will be able to vote, and have my own say for things. ]]> 2022-05-26 15:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2201016442 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206207775 My family is very religious and has been since I was little. We would always go to church every Sunday especially when my sisters and I took religion classes in our polish school. Now, we try and go as much as we can but it will most likely be every other Sunday. My sisters and I were taught to say prayers before bed by our Grandma and we would read stories out of the bible every night.]]> 2022-05-31 15:00:22 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206207775 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206218152 I value my family and friends because they will always be there for me whenever I need them. Some beliefs in my family are to eat dinner together on Sundays. We all have busy weeks so we try to eat dinner all together at least one day from the week. My friends and I all have different beliefs and values but that's what helps us to get alone. We wouldn't have good friendships if we always believed in the same things all the time. ]]> 2022-05-31 15:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206218152 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206221318 My parents are very conservative but I honestly don't care. I am leaning more towards the conservative side because I agree with those rights and what that party does. But to me, it doesn't really matter weather the president is democrat or republican as long as the country is in good hands.]]> 2022-05-31 15:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206221318 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206226073 A lot of different things in my life shape my beliefs and values but most importantly the people that have entered my life, the things that have happened in my past, and my religion. I don't know where I would be without some of my best friends and my family. My parents have been shaping my sisters and my beliefs since the very first day. They have always taught us to do what is right and to trust our gut feeling. My religious beliefs wouldn't be as strong as they are today without the polish school I had to go to till 8th grade. I took a religion class every year and learned so much. I had my 1st communion as well as my confirmation. Going to church on Sundays has just become a habit because of requirements from polish school.]]> 2022-05-31 15:14:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206226073 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206237598 I use my phone on a daily basis. It's always by my bed and it's the first thing I grab in the morning as well as the last thing I look at before bed. I do almost everything on my phone from entertainment purposes to educational purposes. I use snap chat to communicate with my friends and tiktok to keep myself entertained. ]]> 2022-05-31 15:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206237598 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206241938 Technology has made many positive aspects in my life. It helps me communicate with my family/friends easier. I use my phone to entertain myself but also to educate myself. I can access everything I need for school on my phone, so it's really easy for me if I have a quick question about a school assignment. In general, my phone has made my daily life easier.]]> 2022-05-31 15:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206241938 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206246768 The biggest negative aspect technology has made on me is addiction. I used to be so addicted to my phone I would sit in my room for days and only come out to eat. I have some days like that still, but I would much rather go outside and hangout with my friends instead of sitting in my room. Technology has not caused me depression but in many cases addiction does cause depression for many people. If I wouldn't have set boundaries for myself, technology would've taken over my life.]]> 2022-05-31 15:25:53 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206246768 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206272428 Technology has made so many big and small impacts on my life. I use technology every single day but it doesn't always have to be a bad thing. Technology has helped me in many cases, when I was stranded and had to call someone for a ride, when I needed to finish my school project as soon as possible, and when I was bored and needed a source of entertainment. It has also made my life "worse" in some cases. I can get sucked into my phone for hours and won't even know how much time has passed. I could've spent that time doing anything else but instead I decided to let my phone take control of me. Big tech companies also have a big impact on my life. When I am scrolling through instagram, ads pop up all the time and for the companies, it's the best way to advertise. Technology has shaped the world so that you can do almost anything on your phone and just like me, most people will take advantage of that.]]> 2022-05-31 15:32:50 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206272428 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206284794 Art and culture have shaped my life since I was baby. The biggest thing that has shaped my life is my language.  I have been going to polish school since preschool and stopped going last year. My parents speak polish in the house but my sisters and I always talk back in English. Even though polish was my first language, English is my primary language right now. Polish traditions are very different from American traditions. On Christmas Eve, we always put hay under the carpet in the family room, we always go to midnight mass, we leave an empty seat at the dinner table, and there are always 12 dishes and none of them have meat.]]> 2022-05-31 15:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206284794 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206288811 Polish is my first language, it was the only language I would speak in the house for a very long time until I started kinder garden. It was very hard for me to learn another language as a little girl. I would have to take extra classes in the summer to learn English so I would understand my teachers and friends in school.]]> 2022-05-31 15:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206288811 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206294223 Because of my religion(and language), there are many traditions that my family and I incorporate to holidays, especially on Christmas eve and Easter.]]> 2022-05-31 15:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206294223 vdrab5193 https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206299946 Art is a big part of my life. I have been painting my whole life and I have taken many different classes for art as well. I started getting serious about art in 4th grade and after that I have become so so much better.]]> 2022-05-31 15:53:44 UTC https://padlet.com/vdrab5193/zkdaiyxx412dtgfg/wish/2206299946
