Prompt Response
I think nowadays there is for sure more equality and fairness for non-white people in America than there was during Troy's time. Nowadays its just the poor people who struggle with finding or having access to opportunites that other more fortunate people have handed to them. Another group is the hispanic people who came to America for the opportunity to give their familys better lives and now its being taken away. I mean sure they came here illegally but can you really blame them? If the same people who are enforcing these tragic events were in the shoes of a poor hispanic man with a family to take care of, Im sure theyd do the same thing to ensure their family lives a better life.

Summary
I think despite equality being bigger than it was before, the treating of people different based on the color of their skin still remains an issue that greatly affects those who are victims to it and it needs to end.

Reflection
Because I have witnessed many cases of discrimination and seen the damage its caused I make sure to really get to know people before I cast my opinion on them.

 Prompt Response During middle school I was doing a project with a group of friends and my friends had a small dispute over who should do the drawing. Friend 1 was acting like the leader of the group and was deciding everyone's role in the project, giving himself the easiest part, the drawing part. Friend 2 didn't like the idea of friend 1 bossing everyone around and insisted that we all do the research and writing part and then all work on the drawing part together. Friend 2 though the idea was dumb and that sparked conflict between the two and they started arguing. We ended up getting split up and put into other groups. Some advice I would give Harpo and Sofia is to give 100% for each other and to find a way to satisfy each others desires. Do it for not only yourselves but for your kids. Summary During a group project one of my friends was trying to take control of the group and assigning himself the easiest part of the project. That lead to conflict in the group and we ended...

 Prompt Response One day in middle school I noticed that the nerdy kid in my class was being bullied in the hallways by some kids. I went to my teacher and informed her of the situation.

Reflection I'm glad I decided to do something about it despite that kid not liking me very much.

 Prompt Response Someone in my life who inspires me to be a better version of myself is my mom. My mom had me at a really young age and sacrificed so much for me and my brother. My mom's strongest quality is that shes a HARD WORKER. At a really young age she has dealt with multiple jobs whilst also finding a way to take care of us. Despite not being around much because of work, the time we spent together was extremely valuable to us. She always made time for us and always took us to places and bought us things that she thought we deserved. She sacrificed her life interests so that me and my brother could have everything we ever wanted. She could have bought herself nice things or go out with her friends but instead she prioritized us every single time.  Summary My mom is the person I look up to the most. Reflection My mom is so cool.
