If evacuated to a new country the three items I would chose to take with me are my box of photographs, my laptop and a book. I would hope the box of photographs was considered one item because it would be difficult to narrow it down to one and it would be a challenge to limit myself to one book as well. It would be easier to bring three collections of things! The box of photographs is important as it reflects my family, my culture and the things that are most important in my life. I love to look back and reflect and I feel I could share who I am and where I came from with others if I had them with me. They would serve as a connection to the life I had before the move. I would bring my laptop as I assume most areas now have internet connection. If this is the case it would allow me to access information I may need to adapt to my new community and hopefully maintain contact with others I may have lost along the way. I would bring a book because there is nothing that brings me more comfort than a physical book and it would give me an escape when times are challenging. Like the photographs it may also allow me to give other insight on my home culture. If I were told I had to give up two items I would choose to keep the photographs as these would be the item I found hardest to let go. In my past I have had to leave a negative situation with hardly any of my possessions so I feel I can give up 'stuff' fairly easily foe the most part. As long as I have those who are important to me near I can let go of possessions without too much difficulty. As I have had to adapt to change and varied culture often in the past I feel that this situation would not be as challenging to me as it may to others who have always lived in one area or who have not had the opportunity to travel. The insight that I gained form this activity is that as long as I have a tangible link to my past, in this instance my photographs, and those I hold dear I could view the move as an adventure rather than a hardship.
