MY FAMILY CULTURE

The three items I would choose are my grandmother quilt, photo album, and memories.

My grandmother’s quilt

I would explain to other that when I was little my grandmother made the most beautiful quilts. I can remember how colorful they were. She never purchases material for the quilts. My grandmother would cut out pieces from old dresses, table cloths and remember thinking that was going to be interesting looking quilt. Every quilt she made was unique and not one quilt looked like the other.

Photo album

When I was growing up my favorite uncle when take picture at every event. It did not matter what went own is our family my uncle took lots and lots of pictures. After he died my cousin took over the family tradition of taking lots and lots of pictures.

Memories

There is nothing greater than your memories. All the time you shared with your family. The tradition that you have grown to know as everyday part of your life was always be embedded in your memories.

It really wouldn’t bother me if they took my personal items. The one thing I know they could not take was my last chose is my memories. In my opinion that’s the most important chose of all. They can take my grandmother’s quilt, my photo albums but the memories of how each thing impacted my life can never be taken away.

Insights:

After completing this assignment and thinking how I would feel to be sent to another country or go live in another country and not know their culture would be life changing experience. I now understand how other people from different part of world probably feel when they came to America and no one cares out their culture.
