I was very surprised to see Oprah come up on the screen regarding her experience with sexual assault. In all honesty, I was unaware that Oprah was a survivor of sexual assault before today. -Victoria Pereira

Yeah, I think I was surprised for sure. I think everyone has the same image in their mind when they think of an ex convict. And I was very surprised that Nelson Mandela could be in the category of an ex convict. -Chloe

I was surprised that my person was Anne Frank. I imagined that I would be next to a male who is a tall teenager and had a bald head and tattoos. I feel this could be a common image and assumption. But in actuality it was a female who went through trauma. - Paige

Yes I was surprised, I did not know that Albert Einstein was a refugee. However, I was not disappointed because from that he probably had a lot of stories that I could benefit from hearing. - Megan H

I wasn't really surprised. What I had pictured was a white man with a big build and shaved head but I also know that convicts can look like anyone. Honestly, I would have been more shocked if it was a woman. I also knew that because we were on a plane it couldn't be someone that was unsafe. - Bridgette

I wasn't surprised by the person next me, as my group and I were talking about how anyone can have a mental health condition. We couldn't even describe what someone would look like because many people have mental conditions. However, we weren't expecting OCD, we were more discussing anxiety or depression. -Julia W

I was not expecting for Albert Einstein to be the person next to me. My preconceived notions and unconscious bias influenced who I thought is considered "a refugee". As a result, it was a shock to see that even famous people, as much as we think we know them, also fall under these categories. It is important to reflect on our assumptions and see how they influence how we perceive people, and how it can be a negative thing. - Lauren

I was definitely surprised by the person I was sitting beside because I assumed something totally different than who it was for all topics. This just showcases how we all have ingrained views and biases that shape how we view the world. We also don't know what someone has gone through in their life, which would make them be within some of those categories, which was surprising to see.

I was expecting Shaquille O'Neal to be sitting next to me on the plane because of the stereotypical world class basketball players that i was imagining. Thinking of someone who is  a tall male that is well known yet it was the complete opposite. - Gabriella

I didn't have very high expectations as to what this individual would look like. When discussing what this person would look like, my group agreed they would just look like a regular looking person. Mental health doesn't have a 'look' per say- Ines

it was surprising to see Nelson Mandela, my first thought would have been a white male with a bigger build and shaved head. More seen as someone who would fit the stereotype and not someone who is seen as an important figure in society. - Zuzanna

I was surprised to see Oprah as my seat neighbour because I wasn't aware of what she had gone through, but I was not shocked because sexual abuse is so common and so many people have gone through it. I don't think that there is a specific imagine of a survivor of sexual assault -Karma

I was expecting a tall, male basketball player and this individual was very different. There is a stereotype surrounding basketball players and that is what first came to my mind. It is important to look past stereotypes within my future as a teacher. -maddy

I was surprised at who the person next to me turned out to be, as we have biases towards people of which we are not aware. I had not considered that the basketball player would have been in a wheelchair, although I should not have looked past this. This activity allowed me to challenge my assumptions moving forward. -Caitlin Ireton

this was the first thing that came up when i looked up a photo of a shaved head with tattoos through padlets media library. the media provided to us shapes what we associate with certain characteristics

I was expecting potentially a family (i.e mother and her child) coming to a new country. I chose to sit next to a refugee because I really value learning about other people's lived experiences and life stories because I think learning from other's is so important for a more diverse and inclusive society. Sitting beside Albert Einstein would allow me the opportunity to learn about his lived experiences influenced the trajectory of his life. - Danielle

I think that the influence of the media and how most people are drawn to watch male sports like the NHL or the NBA. Those presumptions of expecting myself to be sitting next to a male basketball player is effected by these norms of watching male sports. - Gabriella

The world class basketball player that I ended up "sitting next to" was different from what I expected because I was imagining a tall, athletic, male. It was a very stereotypical view but I think that it because of my unconscious bias that I have surrounding that sport as well as what parts of that sport are broadcasted.

Basketball Player: The person was different from what I expected because I was expecting some very famous male basketball player that plays in the NBA - such as LeBron James - however, the person turned out to be a different basketball player that was female. Something that could have influenced this bias is that women in sports are less commonly "famous" than males in sports. Additionally, I was not expecting an individual who was in a wheelchair, because they are often underrepresented in the sports world along with females.

I was surprised by the person next to me, because I stereotyped how they appeared, for example, wearing a hoodie, cool tracksuit, cool shoes. The reveal of the person i was actually sitting next to me indicated that we can't expect how someone will look, act, or behave. -Alexa Compare
