Reflect on a time when you discovered a new perspective that completely changed how you viewed a person, group, or place. How did your previous “single story” shape your thoughts or actions?

Prompt Response:

A time I discovered a new perspective was when I got to know someone I had judged based on what other people told me. I thought they were a certain type of person, but after actually talking to them, I realized I had judged them without knowing their full story.

Summary:
My first opinion of them came from what other people said, so I only knew one side of the story. Once I got to know them myself, I realized there was more to them than what I had heard.

Reflection:
This taught me not to judge people based on one story. Everyone has their own experiences and personality, and I should take the time to get to know someone before making assumptions.
