A Day in the Life - Jolie Saltiel

Hello, my name is Jolie Saltiel. I'm from Staten Island, NY which is a suburban area in the perspective of New York City, but is fairly urban in comparison to Western New York. My family's house has 14 rooms and I live there with my mom, dad, younger brother, and dog named Tyler. I do not share a bedroom at home. 

As a family, we usually drive for transportation within Staten Island and occasionally take a bus, train, or uber if we need to. When I travel from home into Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Queens I'll take a ferry, train, and/or bus. I'd say that I vary my mode of transportation depending on where I'm going and how much traffic there is. 

My home is familiar, comforting, welcoming, and reassuring.

My family is loving, giving, and content.

I'd describe myself to others as outgoing and caring. 

I'd spend a typical relaxing day or evening hanging out with friends and family, cooking dinner or possibly going out to eat, and reading or dancing. 

My favorite foods are mangoes, avocados, portabello mushroom tacos, and any type of middle eastern food....I'm kind of a foodie. My favorite candy is a resses peanut butter cup.

I'm interested in traveling around the world, dancing, choreographing, and curating events. My hobbies include reading novels and non-fiction books, watching YouTube videos, cooking, creating recipes, and dancing. 

I am a hard-working, creative, driven, and friendly individual. 

I wish to always find happiness and stability in my life wherever I end up.

The one thing that scares me the most is deep-rooted hate within communities and individuals, especially when it does not appear apparent on the surface.

Unfortunately, I will not be present in class for the first IP Video Conference due to the observance of a religious holiday but I can not wait to hear all about it and participate in future live streams.
