Pilgrimage

Think of an event in your life- past, present or future. You are going to create a commemorative ritual for this event. First, describe the event and why it is important. Second, decide how long the commemoration will last. Then, create a phrase, a few sentences, or a poem that should be read during this commemoration. Last, describe some physical (tangible) action that is an appropriate way to remember/celebrate this event. You may want to include ritual clothing, food, or pilgrimmage.

The event that I will commemorate is my youth days in California. This event will last for 3 hours in the area of Cupertino, California. This will take place on the seventh day of June and we will be wearing Hollister or Abercrombie clothing. This is very important because it describes the origins and roots of me.
A short poem will be read:
"Tis is the place where Ryan Jeon has spent his young grasshopper days in California. A time when he was pure and innocent. A time when he was truly happy." There are many tangible actions.
1. We will go and visit his middle school. We will sit on the real grass turf and remember the days Ryan spent rolling around.
2. We will visit his classrooms and his cafeteria, the place where Ryan has received nourishment and education.
3. Then we will go to Ryan's elementary school and likewise, sit on the grass and make clover necklaces. This is a pastime Ryan has done frequently.
4. We will spend a moment in front of each of Ryan's classes.
5. We will move to Ryan's house and walk around, remembering the times of innocence and youth.
6. We shall visit Safeway and purchase a bag of "hot cheetos." This was one of Ryan's favorite foods.
7. We will come to Ryan's new house in Los Altos and remember the last days of his youth before he left for Korea.
