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 .
sanl unit 3 -day in my life
when i opened my eyes ,the first thing i noticed was the bright light shining through my window .As i sat up ,i felt the warmth of my comforter wrapped around me . Hated waking up early but i had to attend my classes for the day . as i stepped under the shower ,the hot water enveloped me like a warm hug.i could feel the spray of water against my skin,and the steam rising from my shower .i was done with showering and chose my outfit of the day .my sneakers crunched on the gravel path as i made way to the bus ,i saw a few claasmates i greeted them them ,then sat on a empty seat and thats when my day began .Got to campus and headed to my lecturer room and waited for my lecturer. The fluorescent lights in the lecturer room flicked as my lecturer began the lesson .i took down notes of the lesson then went to my next class and i was done for the day.i went back to res and made myself a cup of tea cause i felt like it,i then went through my notes after i went to the cheerleading practise we have on my res and after the practice i was done for the day.
