When you going through a catastrophic event the most important thing to me would be family. As long as I had my family I know that everything else would fall into place eventually. If I were to be moved to an unknown country the three items in addition to my family and change of clothes would be my Bible, family album, and my family cookbook. I would share with others that my faith and my relationship with God is my first priority in life. My Bible is one of my most valued possessions that I hold dearly. I live my life through my Bible and I reference it often to help get through difficult times. The second item I would take is an album with family pictures. This album represents my family and the history where I come from. My family is a big part of who I am and feel truly blessed. The third item I would take is my family cookbook. This cookbook is filled with recipes from my great grandmother, grandmother, mother, aunts, and cousins. These recipes are staples at every family gathering and is something that I would like to continue using to represent my family culture.
If I was told that I could only keep one item, I would choose to keep my Bible. As difficult as it would be, my faith is my foundation and with that, I could lean on God to face any struggle and begin to build a new life for myself and my family.
As culture is important, and would hate to loose many of things that make me who I am, I also realize that my culture and my values are instilled in me and would go with me wherever I went.
