  • A big thing that I learned was I’m better at winging situations and that preparing things doesn’t always work out as planned. So, I’m a very shy individual when placed in an unfamiliar or nerve wracking situation […]

  • Self Direction

    I have grown quite a bit in this section. I’m very disorganized and scatter-brained, for lack of a better term. Having to keep a hold of myself and manage my time and schedule has been and will […]

  • What’s the Story is an incredible program that teaches students many valuable things, for example, how to put yourself in an uncomfortable position nagivate your way through it, how to work with other people with […]

  • The time I’ve spent here at What’s the Story? has been so incredibly enlightening and beneficial that I really believe that we should get a credit for it.

    Not only has it been tons of fun, but I’ve been exposed […]

    I had a blast!! I loved connecting with my colleagues and turning them into friends. I felt so much more connected and closer with everyone here. For starters, I’m actually getting to know their names instead of […]

  • To be 100% honest, I’m not really sure. I liked the thought of physically mapping things out (plus I love art) but I found mind mapping to be rather difficult. I attempted to do another mind map for the 5th blog […]

    The topics from my mind map that I decided to choose were the effects and the feelings. Both are effected in different ways, positive and negative.

    For effects, I learned that racism has extensive effects. For […]

    Lucy,
    You did a great job!! I, myself, had a bit of trouble with the mind map and I applaud you for doing such a great job! But maybe a little more detail with the topics? Just a suggestion. I love your sad face […]

  • The topic of racism is a challenging opponent to wrestle since it can go wrong in many ways rather quickly, but I did my best to play the role as wrestler and tackle the topic head on. I have never been a […]

  • Hussein,
    You have no reason to apologize. I love reading the comments I get at any time. I really enjoy the interaction. And I’m really happy that you like my writing!! I’m better at it than actually forming words […]

  • Hussein,
    I agree completely. Racism is very controversial and a very difficult topic to talk about. It makes a lot of people uncomfortable, therefore it isn’t brought up in conversation. I love the facts you […]

  • That is a very good question, one I may need to think about myself. I think I’m more curious about the power structures that lead to prejudices. I love that quote. I think I’ll have to find and read that book.

  • I am normally a pretty easy going person and not a whole lot gets under my skin. I mean, of course my brother gets super annoying super quick, but he doesn’t get under my skin too often. However, if I had to p […]

  • Geoff,
    Thank you so much for the feedback!! I really really appreciate it. To be honest, the reason I wasn’t super specific was because I wasn’t sure how specific to be. I’ve had many encounters and I’m happy to […]

  • Thank you so much!! That is really reassuring to see, actually. I sometimes have a rather hard time saying what I need/want to say. I spent two days stressing over how to figure out how to say everything, haha!

  • Thank you. I got pretty worried about how to phrase everything, but I tried my best. And yeah, it bothers me a lot. I had to coexist with people who saw me for something I was greater than. Not to say things such […]

  • I love how determined you are!! Its inspirational! I’m so happy to work alongside you! I hope I can help with the change you were talking about. -Mel

  • Dear Hussein,
    Is that how we’re supposed to start these comments? I hope I did that right. I love the quote from the anime you did. I love it very much. What anime is it from? Sorry, off topic. I really like […]
