What Identity Means To Me!
This term, our topic is "Identity". We are learning about special aspects about ourselves and each other. Room 11 is a great class and we know how to accept each other even if we're different. We are learning to find out more stuff about our heritage and create a great mindset of it. I think learning about yourself is a good idea, because it helps you understand who you truly are! Here's what identity means to me...
To me identity means who I am, how I think about myself and the way others view me.
Identity is something about me that reveals my characteristics and reputation. It also
means having self awareness of my culture, beliefs and my unique elements.

Hi, my name is Wint and I was born in New Zealand but my ethnicity is Burmese! I go
to Glen Taylor school and I always try to set a good example for others. My religion is
Buddhism, and I love hanging out with my friends and creating new friendships. I am
proud of where I come from and the aspects that make me myself!

What Makes My Culture Special
Why Burma is special-
- It is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia.
- Shwedagon Pagoda (An architectural structure) holds a bit of the Buddha.
- In Burma, people wear bark paste that gives a cooling sensation and provides protection from sunburn.
Title: Why Is My Culture Special?
General Statement: Have you ever felt ashamed of your own culture
because of people's thoughts? Well, I have, but now I have learned
to be proud of where I came from and not to care if people only
shame it with laughter. Myanmar (Burma) is a sovereign state
located in Southeast Asia. The ruling military government changed
the name from Burma to Myanmar in 1989, after thousands were
killed in an insurrection.

Now let me share some reasons why my culture is a big element of
my identity… In Burma, there is an architectural structure called
“Shwedagon Pagoda”. It holds a bit of the buddha. It is believed
to contain artefacts of the four previous Buddhas of the present
who had a relatively long period of time in Buddhist cosmology.
The Shwedagon Pagoda is also covered in 4531 diamonds!

Have you ever seen some people wear this yellowish-white paste
on their faces? It is actually a bark paste that is considered to
give a cool sensation and provide protection from sunburn. This
is a way for us Burmese people to be recognized. When you go
to Burma, it is plausible that you’ll see people having this bark
paste rubbed onto their faces.

Even though we are an unfamiliar country, we’re also
acknowledged by the mass of our country... Did you know Burma
is the largest country in mainland Southeast Asia?

In Burma, people wear this bark paste for a natural sunscreen. It is
made out of bark, wood or roots of a thanaka tree. The thanka
trees grow abundantly in central Myanmar. Did you know this cream
has been used by Burmese women for over 2000 years? The creamy
paste is applied to the face in ravishing designs and circulations
with water. The thanka’s aim is to protect the skin and for beauty
purposes.

Burma is a country with a population of 54 million. We may be an
unknown country but we certainly have a lot of exquisite places,
like the Inle Lake or Ananda Temple. We hold precious artifacts
and have traditional, delicious foods. Burma is the largest country
in mainland Southeast Asia, with lovely, affectionate people.
