Part 1: Part one was communicating with out any verbal sound and it was harder than I thought. During the 15 minutes I was with my family. It was pretty hard to ask for certain things without speaking, For example asking for what flavor of ice cream you want without saying it is hard for the person who is trying to communicate and others. Using hand gestures made it a little easier because you could point at stuff but it was still hard. Part 2: This part was also difficult because I speak with my hands a lot.

1. Diversity: Diversity is a word that stood about to me because of how diverse the world is. This word is powerful because it shows how different cultures are but that different can mean beautiful. When I think of this word I paint this beautiful image in my mind of different cultures coming together in harmony. Diversity being applied to the Naciema means that they are different but it can be a beautiful thing. 2. Rituals: When I think of this word tradition comes to mind.
