I am a part of the isixhosa ethnic group . The teachings and beliefs of the IsiXhosa ethnic group have profoundly influenced my worldview, instilling in me values that guide my actions and perceptions. Two key teachings that have resonated with me are the concepts of Ubuntu and Ulwazi.

Ubuntu:
Ubuntu could be a essential concept in IsiXhosa culture that emphasizes the interconnecting of humankind. It encapsulates the conviction that one's humankind is characterized through their connections with others. The rule of Ubuntu instructs sympathy, sympathy, and regard for all people, notwithstanding of their foundation or circumstances. This logic empowers communal agreement, participation, and a sense of shared obligation inside the community.

Developing up with the idea of Ubuntu has formed my intelligent with others and how I approach clashes or challenges. It has instructed me to prioritize understanding, absolution, and compromise in my connections. The soul of Ubuntu reminds me to continuously consider the affect of my activities on those around me and endeavor to contribute emphatically to the collective well-being of society.

Center Values:
Ubuntu emphasizes the values of sympathy, regard, solidarity, and communal sharing. It advances the idea that people exist inside a community and are characterized by their connections with others.
Application in IsiXhosa Culture:
In IsiXhosa culture, Ubuntu is profoundly imbued in societal standards, interpersonal connections, and conventional hones. It impacts how people associated with each other, resolve clashes, and maintain social cohesion.

Ulwazi:

( have a strong spiritual belief system that incorporates ancestral worship, respect for nature, and rituals aimed at maintaining harmony with the spiritual world.)
Ulwazi alludes to information or intelligence in IsiXhosa culture. It includes not as it were scholarly information but too conventional intelligence passed down through eras. The concept of Ulwazi emphasizes the significance of persistent learning, looking for information from seniors, and protecting social legacy.

Understanding and part taking in 'Ulwazi' has motivated me to esteem instruction and look for openings for individual development and improvement. It has spurred me to investigate differing viewpoints, engage with different societies, and appreciate the abundance of human involvement. By honoring conventional intelligence nearby present day information, I have picked up a more profound understanding of myself and the world around me.

Importance:
Ulwazi plays a significant part in protecting social legacy, advancing instruction, and cultivating mental development inside the my IsiXhosa community.
Integration with Ubuntu:
Ulwazi is closely connected to Ubuntu because it emphasizes the significance of sharing information, learning from older generation, and contributing to the collective wisdom of the community. 

In conclusion, the lessons of Ubuntu and Ulwazi from the IsiXhosa ethnic gather have significantly molded my worldview by ingrains values of sympathy, interconnecting, persistent learning, and regard for social legacy. These standards direct my intelligent with others, educate my decision-making prepare, and rouse me to contribute emphatically to society.Ubuntu and Ulwazi are necessarily components of IsiXhosa lessons and convictions, reflecting a deep-rooted reasoning of interconnecting, communal concordance, information sharing, and regard for one's social legacy.

A day in my life but not everyday is the same.There is always something new.

Like today,i woke up earlier than usual because the birds were chirping way louder than they usually do.The sun was brighter because i could literally feel the suns ray wayyy more that usual.Today felt weird,all my senses were at an all time high and I wish I knew why .I felt like a vampire who had just turned.Firstly i was late for class because I couldn't decide on what to wear .

After finally deciding what to wear,I went to class.The grass was being cut and today i was already annoyed and if the wrong person even looked at me,i would lose my mind.The guy cutting the grass decided to blow the "leaf blower" in our direction and now I smelt like grass.Not just normal grass,that grass smell,the freshly cut wet,brown grass smell.I was sothrown off to the put where I didnt even go to class I just went back home because why am i smelling like a farm animal.

Things got better after my friend sent me money but the day was so off I literally cut it short.I went to my classes after taking a shower and the world actually didn't feel like it was ending.I made myself a meal that my mom used to make just to end my day off on a good note(I can't cook).The food did not taste like hers but it was close. I ended my day around 8 which is really early for me. That is a day in my life

Growing in a small town in the Eastern Cape and then leaving to a big city made me experience a lot of stereotyoing,othering and misinformation.I first went to boarding school(primary school) in the Eastern Cape then went to high school in the mother city , Johannesburg. Being a black girl from the Eastern Cape was hard.People in Johannesburg already have the idea that the eastern cape is full of farms and just animals roaming aroung (which they are in SOME parts of the Eastern Cape.

I remember having to introduce myself on the first day, I got weird looks from the students after they found out where i was from,even the black kids . They asked me things like "How is your english so good if you're from there?". Someone(a black student)  even asked me how I'm so neat if im went to school there.The craziest part is that in primary, my boarding school was one of the best schools where white people even attended . It was in Grahamstown a town known for having the best schools even university wise, it is home to Rhodes University and that alone says alot.People,of all colours, have this misinformation about the Eastern Cape.Some haven't even been to the Eastern Cape,they also just "heard" these things.It didn't get better.

What made it sad and painful for me was that people questioned my knowledge and education that my mom worked hard to give me just because they heard stories about the Eastern Cape.At the end of my high school career they had a different perception on the Eastern Cape because i worked hard and was actually not as dumb as they expect black kids from the Eastern Cape to be.I just wish people stopped judging and making assumptions of people based on where they're from.Evwn if the whole Eastern Cape was just farms and animals running around,that doesnt mean our education standard was any less.
