Choose a family member, community member, or mentor whom you identify with or look up to. Interview this person with the following questions, as well as 4 additional questions of your own design. This interview will serve as the inspiration for your flag.
- Where were you born?
- How would you describe your national identity?
- If known, what places where your ancestors from?
- Do you have any customs or practices inherited from your ancestors?
- If you had to choose a 3 word motto, what would it be?
- If you had to choose symbols to represent you and your history, what would they be? (Example: A wave if you like to swim, a saw if you enjoy woodworking)
