Prompt: If someone tried to understand you using only your race, what important things would that person miss? Describe at least three other parts of your cultural identity that help make you who you are.

 Prompt Response: If someone tried to understand me only using my race, they would miss that I don't have the same cultural values and the race that I have. Most things that I do aren't mainly white culture. Two things that distinguish my cultural identity is my involvement in basketball and my family. My family is very involved in music and they have picked up many cultural values from different bands and groups.

Summary: Today we watched videos on cultural identity and discussed people that had interesting stories about their cultural identity.

Reflection: I learned that some people identify as something different from the color of their skin.

Summary:  I forgot about an assignment and had to turn it in right before the deadline. Reflection:  I need to be better at being on top of my school work...
