The idea of becoming a victim of a major catastrophe
that completely devastated the infrastructure of the USA would be threatening
and mortifying. Nevertheless, if I was informed that I may only bring three
items along as my family and I evacuated to another country; I would be lost in
knowing what small items to bring. However; I would bring three items that I
hold dear and that represents my family culture; for example, a photo book,
music, and bible.
Pictures hold memories of why our families are
vital in our lives. My family is not only important, but they are my
everything; and the photo book that I would bring along will remind me of the great
memories that we once shared together.
Music is important in my culture because it
brings us together and allows us to reunite in order to have a fun time as one.
My family believes that while measuring the
things that matters the most in life, our faith is number one and family
follows after. We walk in a light that we are not afraid of our beliefs and we
value the things that we believe is right and wrong.
I would experience a feeling of hopelessness and incompleteness if I discovered that I would only be allowed to carry one personal item and forced to surrender the other items that I brought with me, and I would probably put up a fight in the thought of having to leave behind important pieces of my life.
Sha-Kevia,
ReplyDeleteLove the illustration you posted and faith is a huge part in just about everyone's lives. I also believe that faith is number one and family follows.
It is amazing to know that as human beings we are similar in some ways even when we appear to be different. Even though we come from different backgrounds and cultures, we still value things that are alike in our families. I agree faith, family, education, etc seems to be a great value in different cultures and families. Thank you, for you comment.
ReplyDeleteIts important to share and teach our children and ourselves the importance we testify about the experiences we endure. Our memories and stories are items that no one take away from us and a mind and souls. We must always be strong willed learn to deal with situations that are sometimes beyond our control and destiny.
ReplyDeleteMusic has come up a couple of times and I could see why, when reading your blog. We have certain music that we play only on holidays and it is very meaningful for all of our family.
