The three items
that I would take to the new country that I was assign to, would be my bible, pictures of my
family and my hair products.
My bible is my life;
I live by the word and believe in the Bible. My family is God fearing people
who believe in the Bible, so with the Bible at my side, I would be comfortable
in another country. Pictures of my family because I could always look at them
and remember the good times when we were all together. My hair products because
I love doing my hair and those around me, braiding hair is part of my culture,
so by me taking my hair products, I can keep a part of my culture with me.
If I was told that
I could only keep one item out of the three, I would feel bad about giving up
my family pictures, but I have them in my heart so I could give them up, my
hair products could give up. I would have to keep my Bible. It would be the only
thing that would give me hope that one day things would be different. I would
read it and find hope.
The exercise really
made think about what was important in my life, and how I view the many things
in my life. Think that it would be hard starting in a different country,
especially if you are forced.
Naquetta-I love that you said hair products because doing hair and hairstyles are a part of people's cultures, but I feel it is a common one that gets overlooked. I can also tell from your post that your religion is very important to you and I admire that. My family was not very religious and it is not something I place a high value on in my own life.
