Prompt Response: I always thought all Asians were smart, strict, and showed no emotions. I would look at an Asian and automatically think they had a 4.0 GPA and their parents were strict because of the way they looked. This made me want to stay away from them because I felt they were not as fun as other people. I got to actually meet an Asian boy one time and realized that is not always the case. He was cool and actually partied and had fun.

Summary: Today in class we worked on our group presentations on negative stereotypes for a certain race.

Reflection: Today in class we worked on our group presentations on negative stereotypes for a certain race. Today school was alright. I can't wait to go home and go to sleep.

I wanted to cry in that moment but I had to stay strong and keep my head up. Summary: Today in class we read The Color Purple. Reflection: We read The Color Purple today in class. The first letter of the book comes with a big shock. I was not expecting that scene to start off the book. Today school was boring and I can't wait to sleep at home.
