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:There was a time when I thought I knew what someone was like without really knowing them.After I talked to them and learned more about their life, I realized I was wrong.

Summary: I only knew one small part of their story, so I made an unfair assumption. Getting to know them helped me see things from their point of view.

Reflection:I learned that one story does not tell you everything about a person. I should get to know people before judging them because everyone has their own story.
