If my family and I were to move to another country permanently, I would choose first a dictionary from my own language to the second language because to preserve my home language in both reading, writing and speaking is one way to preserve our own culture. The second item I would choose is a book about my own country’s history as we need to keep in mind of our own history so that we know who we are. The last thing I would choose is also a book about dishes in my culture, because food is an important of culture.
I would explain to others that the dictionary is to make sure that I won’t forget my own language because my home language is my culture. My country’s history and food are very important in preserving my culture so that’s why I chose these two books.
If I could only keep one personal items upon arrival to the new country, I would be very sad and anxious because giving away any of these items would feel like giving up my own culture. I would be panic and didn’t know which one to keep because all three items meant so much to me as my culture.
Culture is very important to everyone. To be asked to give up your own culture is painful. As a result, early childhood educators should support families in preserving their own cultures because culture is valuable and priceless.
