Hi! My name is Josie Dichoso.
spark and curiosity.
My grandparents used to own a sailboat and participate in the Chicago to Mackinac Island race annually. (I thought they were the coolest, still do!) Being surrounded by the lake, their boat, and the crew growing up inspired me to join my neighborhood swim team and eventually find community within sports like they did. I started taking the sport more seriously over the years and ended up playing water polo in competitive clubs and school teams.
Besides that, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and babysitting. Having a good circle is something I find so important and I try to surround myself with loved ones as much as possible. I also like to go out with my friends on the weekends and explore different towns around Illinois. It’s exciting being spontaneous and going along with their ideas. The trips usually result in us going to a new coffee shop, pottery place, or thrift store. I was a nanny this past summer and it was definitely a fun but interesting experience. I think babysitting is a rewarding job and although I was in position to teach and guide them, they taught me a lot in return!
This week in CARD 101, I enjoyed diving into the "Portrait de Famille" this morning in class. Although I had so many ideas and questions about the art myself, I enjoyed hearing some peers' point of view as well. I think the activity was a great way to convey writing and art both have limitless possibilities- it is all up to the audience's interpretation and dialectics within the piece.
Your story is so amazing Josie thank you for sharing. I love that your parents and grandparents made you find your interest in those sports and things to do. I love your thought about the ocean and how you connected to yourself. You sound like such an amazing friend! That is so cool how you and your friends do that around Illinois. I overall love your story and that picture is very amazing!
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you on what we did in class. The picture was a very interesting picture and I had so many questions but hearing everyone talk about it in class really made me see the picture more in depth.
Thanks for sharing I always love hearing about people's experiences with their families and the different traditions they have! I think that small towns have so many hidden treasures and I'm glad I am not the only one that likes exploring these things! In class I think it was very cool how we all gathered are thoughts to create more out of a singular picture!
