A description of the three items you
would choose
1.
Cell Phone
2.
Family Photo Album
3.
Cash
How you would explain to others what
each of these items means to you
1.
I would take my cell phone because
it has everything on it. It has pictures, the bible and my contacts to keep in
touch with everybody. Since I have the bible on my phone I am able to read the
bible from my phone. I can use my phone to look at pictures and have memories
of my family.
2.
The photo albums is dear to me
because it is visual images of some the memories of the good times and places
that my family and I have experienced. I have pictures of weddings,
birthday celebrations, holidays, family reunions, and even the birth of the
babies in our family. I love taking picture and sharing memories while
looking back.
3.
We all know we need cash to survive. In order
to survive we need money to buy the things we need.
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 were told that I had to give up two of
the items and only keep one, I think I would be sad and heartbroken but I would
have to keep my cell phone. Keeping in touch with my family and friends
and being able to have memories from pictures and being able to communicate is
important to me. The pictures make me
smile, laugh, and cry. I can actually feel the moments and memories of
the many different experiences of the love, and joy when looking at the
pictures. This would be helpful to
me when I begin my new journey in another country.
Any insights you gained about yourself,
your family culture, diversity, and/or cultural differences in general, as a
result of this exercise.
I had a hard time
picking three items but it was even harder to pick one of the three. After this exercise I gained insight that I truly love my family
and even know we go through struggles and hard times I thank God that he chose
these people to be in my life. I enjoy every minute that we spend
together and I look forward to making many more memories.
Greetings Porsche,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post! Once I finished reading your blog, I knew that I would comment because we chose similar items for survival. I didn't even think about cash money. However, I did choose my family photos and my cellular device. My cell phone is my life, I can't see myself living without it. It is so nice to see such similarities from a group of people who you are unfamiliar with. Keep up the great work, and thanks for sharing!

What a great point you make in this post! When I first read cell-phone, I immediately went to the thought of why? BUT, I understand now, the cell phone allows you to keep in touch with families and friends to avoid the loss of those relationships.
