MY FAMILY CULTURE

I was very devastated when, the government asks “me to evacuate to another country”. Needless to say there was not enough time to inform my children, husband and parents. I only grab three things that were near me, and they consist of my cell phone, family pictures and the cross with the Lord’s Prayer. I chose the cell phone because; I communicate daily at least 6 times a day to my family and about 3 times to my prayer partner. The family pictures I would think of all the good times we celebrated and think about my reunion back to my family. My mom gave this cross with the Lord’s Prayer for a Christmas gift two years ago. I’m a prayer warrior and as I pray for other and myself it brings deliverance in time of troubles, pray for healing, and I pray when things are going good for others and me as well.

If I had to let two items go it would be the family photos and cell phone. I chose family photos because, I can cherish the memories and the love we all had for one another, the cell phone due to being in a different environment they may not use cell phones in their country and this leaves room for me to learn their culture. In doing this exercise it made me think how other cultures that, come to the United States not knowing no one anyone, people pass judgement by showing some bias / prejudice and to me that’s not fair at all. Truly, this was something to think about.
