Dainien Gonzales SHP Presentation.webmPersonal Connection: I love playing basketball and it's been in my life since birth. I'm interested in this topic because I feel that the youth is suffering from problems in life such as stress, self-confidence, and exercising. From my own personal experiences, I lost my self-confidence because I always thought I didn’t fit in with others. In addition, it’s been stressful when I lost a family member because the stress of learning to live without them, taking over responsibilities your loved one once dealt with, spending time alone and simply struggling with your new normal. Usually for me, basketball is my way of peace and it helps me clear my mind. It takes me awhile to get into the flow of things but eventually things start to fall back into place. As days went by, I started to see brighter days and my body started to feel more stronger.

HOW PLACE NAMES IMPACT THE WAY WE SEE LANDSCAPE
Memories and stories are connected to our land as described by, B.
Toastie in the article, “How place names impact the way we see
landscape". It also mentions the identity of our land and the identity
behind the name of a place. Some parts of the article mentions loss and
community connection to ancestral places. I see how the connection of
stories and memories tie everything together.
