embracing cultural heritage 

teaching 1 : ubuntu 

in my culture ubuntu is a principal that's connects the community with responsibility towards each other . ubuntu has taugh me hoe to pritiotize and think about other people . i have to respect and people all the time . growing up i was often reminded that "umuntu ngubuntu ngabantu ". this phrase explains and encourages me to respect other people .

teaching 2 : believing in ancestors

in my culture , we believe that our ancestors continue to play an active role in our lives , giving us guidance and wisdom and they also protect us .you have to respect the people that came before you . i have received blessings through them .

these two teachings have shaped me and influenced me on how i view and interact with others .these thwo taeching you can find them in the xhosa culture .
