 One time I realized my opinion about food was based on a stereotype was when I thought sushi would taste bad because it contains raw fish. I believed this because I was not used to eating raw fish, and it seemed weird to me. I thought I would not like it without even trying it and just from looking at it. My perspective changed when I learned that sushi comes in different types and can include rice, vegetables, cooked seafood, or raw fish and realized that not all sushi is the same. Learning more about it helped me understand that sushi is an important part of Japanese culture.This experience taught me not to judge food before trying it or learning about it. I learned that people have different foods and traditions depending on their culture.

 A time I felt I truly belonged was my church camp we did a year ago. I went to a mini trip for my church to get closer with God and get closer with other people in my church. I felt like I understood everybody and then understood me when we would talk about anything. I felt a sense of comfort and was grateful for them being in my life. I felt a connection and knewI could trust them with anything. I think what created that feeling was goin to church camp and all connecting with God together and having fun.

The presentations taught me that you would never expect what people have interests in that you might think at first before getting tot know them. Everyone had their own preferences which I found interesting because you would’ve never thought what they are into. I think it was nice seeing what everyone liked and shared it to the class so that we can know a little more about them and not just seeing beyond the surface. I got to know my classmates better with their cultural identity masks and where they come from.

 A fear I overcame was driving after I crashed my car. I crashed my car two years ago while I was in a parking lot in front of an apartment office. I was waiting for my mom who had gone inside to ask about something and I hadn’t put the car in parked. That day I wasn’t feeling well and had a lot in my mind. I wasn't really paying attention in which I should've especially when driving. After my mom had gone in the car, I hadn't realized I didn't put the car in reverse and stepped on the gas pedal really hard. I then stopped driving for about a year because I was scared and didn’t want to remember about it. My dad then started supporting me that everyone makes mistakes and that shouldn’t stop me from driving and keep practicing. Thanks to my parents that supported me I now drive again and don't have fear no more about driving but now consciously aware every time I'm in the road.
