Write about a time when you realized that your perception of a person or group was based on stereotypes. How did this realization affect your behavior or beliefs? What steps did you take to change your perceptions?"

 There was a new international student who came from Vietnam and I thought he had a strict studying schedule. The first few days we became mutual friends and talked about how different education is in America than it is in Vietnam. I assumed every time he got home, his parents would make him study most of the time after school and wouldn't have as much free time. It wasn't until we faced time together that he wanted me to join a game of Roblox. With the stereotype of Asians being smart, I assumed their parents to be strict about their schedules by making them study all the time and don't let their kids have free time. Today, we began working on The Danger of a Single Story project and our group chose Hispanic/Latino culture. I feel pretty drained today I don't know why. I hope this headache goes away.
