Personal Narrative: My Coat Of Arms

My father’s side of the family is American and my mother’s is from South Korea. This is why I put the two flags on my shield. Like many families, my family has things that we consider very important.

We all stand up for each other, no matter what the conflict is about.

Whenever a member of my family is struggling or doesn’t know what to do, they are reminded that if they keep their trust in God then they will be guided and led down a steady path. My family is very passionate and ambitious about things that we do. When my family puts their mind to something and want to do it they will.

Another animal that I included is the Raven. I think that my family has a strong sense of responsibility when being counted on. They won’t forget about an important event or task. The Raven symbolizes
