Explain the meaning of "rites of passage" in your own words and select one example from the African religious tradition that demonstrates this rite of passage. Finally, recall and discuss a rite of passage that helped you grow into your adulthood. It may be a rite that our culture clearly defines, such as a graduation of some sort, wedding, childbirth, moving out on your own. It may also be an important transition through which you have passed silently, without formal ritual or recognition. Examples include coping with loss, tragedy, or sickness that brought you face to face with your own mortality, a spiritual or religious conversion, combat or boot camp, accomplishing a personal goal for life or health. Explain how this period helped change your life
