ANALYSIS ON HOW I ADAPTED TO THE DEMANDS OF THIS COURSE OVER THE PAST WEEK

PROMPT Over the past week, I have adapted to the demands of this course by getting used to the frequent assignments and learning how to manage my time. At first, some of the prompts were a little difficult to understand, but I have gotten better at reading the questions carefully and organizing my answers. One strength I have is that I am willing to put all my effort into my work and ask for help when I do not understand something. One challenge I have noticed most of the time is keeping up with the assignments as they become more difficult.

IMPORTANT THINGS SOMEONE WOULD MISS ABOUT MY CULTURAL IDENTITY JUST BY DEFINING ME BY MY RACE APPEARANCE

PROMPT  If someone tried to understand me using only my race, they would miss many important things about who I am.

THE PARTS OF MY IDENTITY THAT HAVE HAD THE GREATEST INFLUENCE ON THE PERSON I AM TODAY

My identity has been shaped by my family, culture and experiences at school, and the people I have met throughout my life. My family has had one of the greatest influences on me because they have taught me important values such as respect, kindness,being considerable, and working hard. My culture has also influenced who I am because it has helped me understand where I come from and appreciate traditions that are important to me. My experiences at school and meeting different people have helped me become more understanding and open minded.  There have been many times when I felt pressure to change parts of myself to fit in. Sometimes I have worried about how other people might think about how I talk, act, or express myself. I have learned that I should not have to hide who I am just to be accepted. Being different is a part of what makes each person unique. My family, culture, experiences, and the people around me have all helped shape my identity. They have taught me important less...

SUMMARY Today in class, we basically talked about the different cultures that people come from and how they grew up adapting to respect their culture.
