I have selected these 2 beliefs to discuss and they are, respecting your elders and giving appreciation and thanks for every postive moment in your life. Giving respect to your elders might sound cliche but this belief is not being practiced enough but in my culture this helps with character development and it represents a higher form of maturity from the person practicing it. In some cultures it is a foreign practice. The other belief is giving thanks to every positive moment in your life. In my culture this is a representation of being humble when things are going good in your life. 

My network consists of family, friends and acquaimtaces. A network is a range of people you come into contact with om daily basis and there has to be daily communication between the parties. My network of family consists of my two sisters and my mom. They are my family and they are the ones that raised me. I am the last born out of 3 children. Our main relationship is based of the fact that we share the same blood, same surname and we are genetically bonded as we share the same parents. We have a deep love and relationship. My network of friends consists of one childhood friend that has always been there, hes a day one type of friend and i know consider him more of my older brothed rather than my friend. My network of acquaintances consists of people i can use to benefit me in a positive manner and also motivate me. 

Waking up in the morning the first thing that comes to mind is a quick prayer to give thanks to the Lord for waking me up yet another day. I then take a shower, make food and get dressed. I head out an hour before class just to meet new people on my way to campus, meeting new people is a different feeling because i hear different languages everyday. The most intriguing one of all that i have heard was ndebele. The pronunciation and syllabels have a different sound i havent heard before. It makes me feel like i could learn the language. On my way to campus i met a new friend who spoke ndebele perfectly since it was her mother language, as she was speaking and introducing herself to me. I thought to myself " what an interesting language to learn it felt like a breathe of fresh air hearing a language i havent heard before in person. I proceeded to tell her that i am a tswana and she replied in tswana and i thought to myself what a multilingual person she accommodated me even though she couldn't speak it properly. We walked to school together and i was trying to learn ndebele along the way. It was a new interaction, a new language, a new feeling, i also had a new perspective on ndebele after that interaction. Every morning i go to campus i try to meet new people to see if i cant learn something new. I will only be doing this for the first few momths just to try something new out of my routine just to try and learn something new.
