Prompt: Write about an experience when someone assumed something about you because of a stereotype. What was the situation, and what did you do?- August 26

Some Latinos consider Honduran men to be cheaters or to just be horrible towards woman, to have no manners, and to just be bums. I had told a girl I was Honduran and she just made a face and asked If I was a cheater, I told her nah but she stayed stuck up on that. At the end of the day I ain't care too much cause I could just find myself someone better who's not going to judge my character based of my background. So just let her go and went for her sister instead.

Ignorance is a horrible thing and education is something every deserves. This course has taught me about my absolute laziness I have in school. I know I'm not going to college but I should give it my all while I'm still in school and there really is no excuse to be lazy. If I was this lazy at work I woulda been fired. I should treat everything as if its important and shouldn't be procrastinating. Thanks Mr Reese you helped me out a hell of a bunch and I appreciate w...
