My Family Culture

• A description of the three items you would choose

The three Items I would take with me would be first my bible. My family comes from a strong religious background and my bible would help to keep my faith strong. I would also take tote bag about the size of a sheet of paper in order to keep things that i need  close to me and anything I gather as I am away. Lastly I would take a solar cell phone because I would be able to communicate with my family which is very much apart of our culutre. We commuicate consistently. 

• How you would explain to others what each of these items means to you

I would tell other that my bible is to read and help to keep my focused. We have a strong back of faith and believe this is what keep us strong and alive. My bag is to carry as I am out and about in case I find something I need to keep. My family believes in surviving and utilizing whatever you need to survive. The cellphone is to communicate, take pictures as I would need to keep any memories. 

• Your feelings if, upon arrival, you were told that you could only keep one personal item and have to give up the other two items you brought with you

If I had to give up the other two items. I would download the bible app on my phone so that I could use my phone as an all in one. I would be sad to have to live my physically bible and bag because  I would feel like I am leaving things that I would need. I always like to be prepared and have what I need on me. 

• Any insights you gained about yourself, your family culture, diversity, and/or cultural differences in general, as a result of this exercise,

I realized that my family cultures is has alot to do with society. My basic needs seemed to be things that society has deemed as important ie. the cellphone. I definitelty became more clearer to how my family cultures has taught me to survive because of how we had to survive when resources were limited.
