My Family Culture


If I was evacuated to another country and needed to stayed there permanently...

I would bring a family picture with me since I will always be able to remembered them and keep their memory alive...

My flag and/ or a map  - to remembered always where I was born , where I come from and to share it with the rest of the people.

And my grandmas' recipe book :), because  food  is something that represents my country and  my culture and I loved my grandmas cooking abilities :) Even though I will have to altered the recipes because of not having all  the ingredients.

I would be really sad if  I ended up with only one item. If that were the case I will definitely keep my family picture.

I was surprised that I was able to choose my 3 things so quick . This exercise  confirmed  my reflection that even thought I am far from my  island I feel proud of being Puerto Rican:) and called myself  "BORICUA".

  3. Hi Deborah...I am enjoying reading others posts to see what items are being chosen to take in case of having to start another life. I think bringing some family recipes is a good idea too, food brings people together to bond and if you are going to start over in a new country you will meet new people/friends.

  4. Hi Deborah,

    I too enjoyed reading your post and I like your responses. As I read each post, it is interesting how we answer these questions. I think that a decision as big as this, would be just as hard as a hoarder getting rit of a century of clutter. Great Post
