It brought back memories of experiences that I had growing up, based on my race. Not necessarily in the classroom/school environment. It also reminded me that I felt embarrassed to be "different" (not white).

Each student has different circumstances happening in their lives. Being able to not make assumptions as to why a certain behavior or issue is happening and talking to the students goes a long way in understanding them.

I never thought that I had privilege because I wasn't white. I don't know what it is like for our students. I can't even imagine. I never had to live in fear like many of our students or their families have/do. Ever since Covid-19 and the President calling it "The China Virus", I have been worrying more about myself and my family. I know it is not the same, but I am afraid that one day I, or one of my family members, will be attacked and blamed for the virus. I am so full of anxiety and fear. I'm sure it's only a small fraction of what our students deal with on a daily basis.
