As I wake up, the sunlight peeks through my window, putting a golden glow on my face. The soft chirping of birds outside creates a soothing melody, putting me into consciousness. I stretch, feeling the gentle rustle of my sheets and the softness of my pillow. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee comes from the kitchen, reminding me to start my day.

As I head to the kitchen I find scramble eggs being made and I am already feeling energetic . The sound of sipping coffee and the gentle clinking of cups create a warm atmosphere, accompanied by the sound of the refrigerator in the background.

Throughout the day, I navigate various social experiences. In the classroom, the  sounds of discussions and the scribbling of notes on paper create a changing environment and the glow of the projector light immerse me in the learning process.

Later, during lunch, the vibrant colors and enticing aromas of food from different cultures tantalize my senses. The chatter of friends and the clinking of utensils against plates in the cafeteria create a lively ambiance.

As the day unwinds, I find peace in nature. The gentle sound of leaves and the soft chirping of birds in the park create a serene atmosphere. The warmth of the sun on my skin and the fresh air surround  me, preparing me for the evening ahead.

As night falls, the soft glow of lamps and the stars coming out bring me closer to bedtime. The aroma of dinner wafts from the kitchen as more girls enter the kitchen to cook accompanied by the sound of the gentle clinking of dishes.

In this  piece, we can identify various elements of ritual, being 

- Separation (waking up, leaving the house)
- Transition (commuting, moving between activities)
- Liminality (classroom, park, social interactions)
- Incorporation (returning home, reuniting with family).
