My Family Culture
If I and my family would have to
relocate to another country because of the occurrence of a major catastrophe in
the US and we were allowed to take only three items, I would really have to
deeply ponder about the items I would select.
The first item that I would select would be my bible because it would be
a source of inspiration and the words would be written in English I may be relocating to a non-English speaking
country so it would be to my advantage to have a book written in my native
language. Secondly I would bring family
pictures of my relatives that have since passed away in order to keep their
memories close to my heart. The last
item that I would bring would be fruit in order to stay nourished.
There may be a language barrier in
the new country where I have to reside so I would let people know the value of
these items that I brought over by drawing pictures to explain the items to
others. Upon arriving at this new place I
am suddenly told that I have to narrow my choices down to one item, so I would
select food because that is the key to my survival.
Family is very important to me and I
think the true gift is allowing my family to accompany me to a new land. Some of the problems that we may encounter
would be adapting to the climate, language, economic and housing system, and
obtaining adequate health care. This
exercise helped me to get in touch with my feelings and belief systems. I now realize that having a loving family is
the best commodity that anyone could have.
No obstacle is too large to achieve when you have the love and company
of your family
Hello Nikki
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your blog. Even though I have never had to relocate to another country, I would imagine that there would be many challenges that my family and I would have to face. When you are surrounded by the ones you love it is much easier to face the challenges that you may encounter. There is nothing greater than the support, love, guidance and understanding from family.
