 This conversation made me feel frustrated and mad for him things are always unfair depending on race and gender they make you feel different and unseen they hurt peoples ego and hurt their self esteem they make people feel useless, The conversation also made me remember about my first job and how they treated me on my age and gender they had made me do more than i was supposed too and payed me less than i was supposed to this conversation reflected on me and what he was feeling the intense rage society will find a way to show you the world is unfair and unjust-able theirs no way that you will get what you want, if i was in troys position and his shoes i would be mad and try to find a way to prove them wrong about how they think of me i would try to make my son show me what hes got and support him so that he will make himself famous and string in a way he can show off to the world about how it is possible and to not let society judge you unfairly.Today in class we continued reading...

truth i was afraid to accept was that something had happened to my dad and that i would not be able to see him until a couple years later.  I didn't want to accept the fact that i would probably never see him again or never encounter him face to face i loved my dad but he wanted to stay in Florida and did not like Georgia at all while my whole family was in Atlanta i only got to see him around the summer because we would go and spend my summer with him and go to the beach, the fairs, the outlets places where he knew he would enjoy but one summer we got an unexpected call from him telling us that this time this summer would be different and that i would not be able to see him again until things got fixed i denied it i didn't want to accept i would never get to see him again that he was joking and lying and that it was all fake and i would most definitely see him again once more but it never happens i learnt to accept it and that i would infarct not see him again any time soon.

 One time i was judged unfairly about my looks and my face the way i would dress in a certain way. they had said i looked very mean and unapproachable ,that hurt my feeling because i was the opposite i wanted friends and to talk to others but this showed me and gave me a reason to why i was getting looks and certain comments about me they had judged me for what i had looked instead of getting to know me like a decent person. they judged me for the way i dressed they compared me to other people and how they fit it they had made it look like i had been less than others. i had seen others and started to compare myself worse than the way they would judge me ,they judged me for stuff they wouldn't judge others for i started to show them why i had been a little different about my clothes and once they got to know me they understood i wasn't how they had imagined me as. Today in class we read a common lit and did missing work and our blog posts. Today i learnt that people will never u...

 The most things i would be curious about would be the food and traditions music not so much but i would love to learn how to dance certain styles and movements since they all are different. The food looks and smells amazing i would be curious about the way it's made and prepared the types of condiments and spices that are put into it . How it is made fresh and with what you have in your pantry another thing i would be so curious about would be transitions depending the country they all have very different traditions from day of the dead to celebrating some certain gods and why they do that and their offerings all countries have different traditions that have been  passed down from generations to generations and that will always live on these would have been one of the main things i would be super curios about because there is always something to learn and enjoy, celebrations would also be one of my main focuses they all have different meanings in various occasions Christmas i...

 One of the story-map that stood out the most to me was Roxanne she put a lot of emotion and background on it it was very well expressed and explained it was also very well done you can tell a lot of effort was put into it it helped me learn a lot of what she grew up with and how she was raised and her cultural background it didn't lack much of what was supposed to be said and described it was one of the best presented projects she was very formal and well presented this story map stood out in various ways i liked how she embraced her heritage and how she had visited Nicaragua and how she viewed it was so beautiful and how she would love to visit again leaving out of the country and how she managed to engage about many other certain details that added more vibrancy to her project.Today in class we continued to present our story maps and we also had to write two interesting facts and rated them out of 10 but 5 in two categories the person with the best rank the winner got a classwor...

 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 wi...
