Prompt: As we approach the end of the course, reflect on the texts, discussions, and concepts explored in Multicultural Literature. What is one significant lesson about culture or identity that has stood out to you? Explain why this lesson is meaningful and analyze how it connects to your own experiences or perspective.

 A significant lesson that stood out to me regarding culture, is understanding others food habits. I think food is a form of comfort especially if its a cultural food you grew up on. Feeling that sense of safety when eating your favorite meal shouldn't be judged. I think its important to understand other peoples culture includes “different” habits. No one should be judged for how they live. I personally love food, especially a cultural food i grew up on like yuca fries. If someone were to judge me because its “different” wouldn't be ideal.

 Education in my life right now is very important. After highschool i plan on going straight to college to extend my education. I do think there are alot of students that value school the way i do.

Prompt: After viewing your classmates’ presentations, which cultural group did you find most interesting? Explain why. Then, reflect on how this presentation changed or deepened your understanding of that culture.

I came in late the first day due to cross keys so i didn't get a good look of the other groups. What i will say is , knowing other cultures and their pros as well as cons is important. Its also important to know what stereotypes are truly accurate and what stereotypes are hurtful. Being sure to not implicitly judge anyone because of these negative stereotypes is crucial in being respectful to others.

Prompt: Which factor plays a greater role in shaping your future career choice: your genuine interest and passion for the field, or the financial benefits and stability it can provide? In your response, explain which one you prioritize and why, and consider how this decision might impact your long-term happiness, motivation, and overall quality of life.

 In my opinion my genuine interest and passion for the field plays a greater role im shaping my future career choice. I would never want to work a career im not happy with. Not for the money, the location , or nothing. Though my interest may come with some obstacles, theres always a chance to find you way. Your overall quality of life wont involve having to stress not being happy in your occupation.

Prompt: Clothing is often tied to identity and culture. Describe an outfit or style you like that may not fit what others expect from you. How have people responded, and what does this reveal about stereotypes in society?

 I like baggy pants and tops. This can be looked at as "weird" because "girls are meant to wear tight and fitted clothing." Alot of people assumed I was masc female because of what I chose to wear. Despite my long slick hair, nails, lashes , and even the way I speak. This shows that I doesnt matter how much you may 'look to part', if you have one thing that's different ,all of that will be thrown out of the window.

Prompt: Think about a film that represents your culture (or a culture you identify with) in a positive and meaningful way. Explain how the film represents the culture and why this portrayal matters. Be sure to include specific examples from the film.

 The film The Hate U Give, represents my culture. Though there were negative parts about my culture , there were also meaningful parts that better represent my culture. Acts like protesting for whats right , getting good grades as a black girl, being more than comfortable in your skin were all represented in this movie. Watching these acts definitely impacted me and made me feel proud to be who I am as a young black girl in America.
