Often in families or long-term friendships, we’ll have stories we tell over and over. Everyone in the family or friend group knows the stories. The stories get told when new people are around, or sometimes just when the group feels like telling them. The stories become part of the culture of the group.

1. Tell a story that has become part of the culture of your family or friend group. You may use different names for confidentiality  as needed

2. What makes this story special or significant?

3. How has it shaped or been a reflection of your family or friend’s culture?

At least 100 words. If you choose to include the question prompts as part of your reflection, keep in mind they do not count toward your word count as they are not your own words.
