Fear

     A fear that I have overcome is fear of not knowing what could happen. When I was a kid and I would have to go somewhere where I have never gone before I would get nervous and try to think about how the place would look. This way of thinking would later on lead me to start overthinking about bad situations that could happen. An example of this would be when I went to a soccer tournament with a team I never played with, the first idea that came to my head was "what if the stadium is to big that I don't find my team on time for the inscriptions". The way I was able to overcome this fear was just by comparing my new situation to old situations I been in, for example in a new soccer tournament that I went to recently instead of overthinking about the unknown I remembered my last tournament and how easily I found the coaches just by calling them and meeting them in a certain place.

Learning Method

    The learning method that I enjoy the most is class discussions. One reason of why I say this is because I enjoy to hear the perspectives of other people when talking about a certain topic. Another reason why I said this is because someone might say something that may open up my mind and make me switch opinions. The last reason why I enjoy class discussions is because they make the work much easier, I am able to hear the opinions of others and then focus on what the question is asking. This is why class discussions are the learning method that I enjoy the most.     Today in class we did independent work, we read a passage and wrote down stereotypes we saw in the passage.      One thing I learned was that stereotypes and myths are completely different. One way that I may use what I learned today in the future is by not using stereotypes to assume something about someone.

Stereotypes

      A time when someone assumed something about me because of a stereotype was in middle school when a student thought I was smoking in the bathroom and told the teacher. The way that this situation happened was that I went to the bathroom near the gym in the middle of class, during this time I was sick so I would begin to cough at times. I had finished using the bathroom but a couple seconds later a kid walked in but at that moment I started coughing, he asked if I was smoking and with the most confused face I said no, he then walked out and told a teacher that was passing by. The teacher was a male and walked into the bathroom asking if it was true that I was smoking, I explained to him that I was just using the bathroom and that I do not smoke. At the end the teacher walked away, the kid apologized to me and explained how he assumed I was smoking since most Hispanic kids do that.     Today in class we watched a video about a girl and the stereotypes she fac...

"I, Too" Poem

      The inspiration or reason why I decided to talk about being active is because throughout my life I have always worked hard to achieve things, to show that I care, and to be helpful to others, but there has also been people like friends or family members who never see that and just see me as someone who rather be at home sleeping instead of going out or and do activities.       Today in class we read a passage called "I want a wife" by Judy Brady and answered some questions as a class, to finish the period we did 15 examples of what we want in a husband.      I have always been an active person but to many people I'm just lazy. Reading my poem to the whole class made me feel like if I was finally able to express how I truly felt when people called me lazy.
