Personal Narrative: My Family Rainforest
My family crest is centered around three subjects: Family, Faith, and Life. All three subjects are divided by colors, the colors all having a special meaning behind them. Family is symbolized by a heart due to the amount of love I have for my relatives. Faith is symbolized by a cross, because the cross represents Christianity. Life is symbolized by a globe, because the amount of life on earth is innumerable. My family crest overall is kid themed, as portrayed by the vast variety of colors. The background of the actual crest is the Mexico flag, thus representing my heritage. Therefore, the colors and symbols shown on the board simply make up my entire life.
My first theme is family, symbolized by three objects. The ambulance represents my

The butterfly represents change, hope, and new life. The Sun represents energy, power, and provides heat necessary for life. The tree symbolizes eternal life and strength. All beautiful and important parts of nature. This particular themes background is red. The color red representing the power and strength of simply one life and the impact and lasting effect it has on others.
The entire crest has a kid theme to it, only due to the fact that my family adores children. My parents would do anything they possibly could to help children, whether it be sheltering them in our home for a few weeks or taking them a sack lunch every day. My sister has now taken over my old duty as the children’s choir supervisor and I volunteer regularly at Katherine Sage Temple day care out of Diboll. My families love for children will never cease, this being why it is the major theme of the entire crest.
Although the colors behind the three themes have a meaning towards the individual theme it is under, when put all together it makes the country of Mexico’s flag. This was added to my family crest just to include a little bit about my ethnicity. Overall, my family crest embroiders all aspects of my life specifically. My family, faith, and the little things in life are what bring me the most bliss and comfort for all the days to

    Most of my young adult life I have walked into a room where everyone was listening to a person describing a story, in Spanish, and I could not understand the details? Being a non-fluent Latinas, this meant I would not hear and understand the juicy gossip. However, with not speaking Spanish I have gone thought many challenges in my life. I have realized being a non-fluent Latina I have missed out in learning about my heritage, been judged by my appearance, and have taken steps to carry my culture to the next generation. My parents did not teach us to speak Spanish which is one of my biggest regrets in life. This language is a part of my history that I will not be able to teach the next generation. However, as an adult I have made it a choice…

    The pairing of the antelope crests actually represents the union between men and women to produce new generations, many crests are worn in male/female pairs, and between sun and earth to produce new crops. This crest would have been quite valuable to historians because it exhibits the Bamana connection to wildlife and harvest. This artwork is simplistic and, just by seeing it, its animal representation can be inferred. The crest, which is dark and has sharp edges, features one antelope with a smooth back, the mother, and one with a sharp back, the child/calf. It is clear that the calf is the second antelope because of its size and how its “fur” is jutting out; antelope calves have fur that stands up slightly while adults have smooth fur. Unfortunately the amount of information that can be acquired past deep thought, inference, and the given information is limited. Though the Bamana peoples’ connection to animals and nature is clear, without the information provided it is unknown that this crest would have been worn in dance. The Ci Wara dance crest offers historians a glimpse into the daily lives and rituals of the Bamana…

The fact they raised me and still enjoy my company today is a testament to this teaching.…

Our motto is “Ours is the Fury” which has originated from our earliest times as a people. It is significant because in every regard of our life we accomplish everything with brute force and strength.
