Personal Narrative: My Sacred Place Project

Improved Essays
My sacred place project is an off campus, place. I chose to do the daycare here in town. I work at the daycare and it seemed like the perfect place. I chose because of its innocent nature and the fact that not only are the children learning from me, I am also learning from them. I felt this was the perfect opportunity to make it my sacred space. I think that the course objective that my project is mostly connected to is the second one. It states that “The teacher understands students with exceptional needs, including those associated with disabilities and giftedness.” The reason I think this fits with my project the most because it is about understanding the needs of the children. At the daycare, we always have to understand the needs and differences

    Since I was born, New York City has been my life, my blood, and bones; I have grown and lived with many different people with different backgrounds. My neighborhoods have shaped me into who I am today, I am flexible and open, like raw clay, enough to be changed and formed. Then there is the Bronx, a borough of New York, where you have to be strong, or you will not survive, a place where all races are together, and everyone is noisy. I live in a community where there are mostly Hispanics, and where there are always car passing by and honking, during the day it is the only sound you can here, and ear-piercing bird calls, but during the night there is always some kind of party, either that or just really loud music. I have grown to get use…

    Going through small private schools in a little town since I was in kindergarten has set me up for very few cultural experiences but my parents never wanted my siblings and I to grow up like this. When my family goes on vacation my mom always tries to fully submerge us in the culture around us. For example, a few years ago, my family and I went on a vacation in Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. We stayed in a nice resort and it was never necessary to leave the property if you didn’t want to. Most people never did.…

    Growing up, my Native American ancestry was made apparent to me by my grandmother. Of course my mother’s appearance, with her long dark brown hair, tanned skin tone and her deep brown eyes led me to assume my ancestors heritage, but it was my grandmother who introduced me to the native rituals. Rituals such as the burning of sage to cast off negative entities, and the making of dream catchers each year on my birthday. My native american descent is the Delaware Valley Indians. This Nation of Indians is part of the Algonquian Culture that has a teaching that predates the Biblical Noah's flood and the Matriarchal system of Native Ancestry therefore recognizes both father or mother in relations.…

    When I first came here in Canada, I had no friend or family that I could rely on, so I was so eager to get new friends to gain a sense of belonging. That was the time I hung out with some international students. We were partying, playing billiards and staying up all night. I enjoyed it at first because I felt like home, with friends having fun together, but it didn’t last for long. I started to realize the parties took over my life, but I knew if I stopped hanging around with them, they would kick me out of the “group”.…

    There’s an odd, reality-altering sensation that occurs when one is positioned in a place that doesn’t have a definitive purpose outside of it’s relationship to a following action. Airports, parking lots, and waiting rooms are a few examples of these places called “liminal spaces”. Because they lack familiar context, our brains deem them dangerous. Knowing otherwise, we’re left with a feeling of curious wariness and expectant unease. This rush of adrenaline and abruption of butterflies is what I experience when I look up into the night sky.…
