I learned that each person has a variety of their own experiences and that some people may have similar experiences. This was shown through people sharing their ancestry and the people that they honour. Another thing that I learned was that we each have stories passed down from our parents, grandparents, or other important people in our lives. The things that we learn from these stories can influence how we see the world and others around us. Having this circle talk showed me that everyone has someone in their life that they look up to and honour. This was a great way to see that each person feels a connection to someone in their life. I think that this is important because having someone that you trust and feel comfortable with can help to not feel alone. When going through hard times, it was nice to hear that almost everyone had a person in their lives that they could go to in order to be comforted and feel safe.
