Reflect on a time when you discovered a new perspective that completely changed how you viewed a person, group, or place. How did your previous “single story” shape your thoughts or actions?

 One time i discovered a very unique perspective was when i joined my violin club/classes i learned about so many different people and what they played. This club wasn't only for people that played the violin but everyone that played orchestra and what they liked and how they played these instruments i loved learning new notes and how these certain people thought before any concert this group was very open and talkative they were always open to talking and learning the place as well was very kind a and warm it led to more people wanting to join and help out for when we had our concerts the community was very diverse and vary different interests the backgrounds of the people in the club were Athletes,Artists , and scholars but we all shared a passion of music and learning. Teamwork and being in sync was huge for all these all changed my single story view i saw orchestra people as very reserved and quiet and that they were also very rude, so now when approaching new groups i stand with curiosity and open kindness. Today in class we did common lit and answered questions as we went along then did an assessment today i learned that things change and that people don't five off always what is said about them.
