We are heading to another country and the tour guide say I am only allowed to bring three items that represent my family culture. So I guess I will our gigantic family album, my mother high school ring, and my father's home going service video tape. These items show my family traditions and important values. My family show many memories of family traditions. It holds various pictures and souvenirs of many family vacations. Every year my family takes a annual vacation trip and think about the good ole' days. These vacations allowed respecting the aspects of being in a great family. My mother gave me her high school ring so I can always remember her after she is gone. She told me every time I look at this ring I would remember her values in life. She taught me how to be understanding and independent. When my father died ten years ago; it was devastating. My family was bonded together to get this lost. We never expected something like that to happen to us. This video tape shows his last appearance. As family we would watch the video and remember the times we shared. These items are very personal to me. I would die if I only could choose one item. I keep all these items close to my heart. These are the things that represent my family culture.
In this assignment I got a better outlook on what is very important to my family culture. These are some items that I would pass down to my children as well as their children. Family culture is a family as a whole. The saying goes, “A family that prays together, stays together”.
Hi Tameka,
ReplyDeleteI too chose to bring something that represented my father. He was a US Navy Veteran. I chose to bring my father's burial flag because I think this can serve as a discussion piece and a symbol of how this culture chooses to honor our military.
