Mendoza used to feel insecure about how she was different from everybody else, she thought everybody except her fit in. Paragraph 4 states "but as I have matured, I have learned not to be ashamed about my ethnicity". She soon learns to love herself and her culture. Maturing is realizing everybody is different and special.]]> 2021-10-21 13:16:21 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833428991 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833429801 A message that can be learned that changes to be like everyone else is bad. You are special and unique you should never change yourself to fit in with other people. You should embrace your ethnicity and to accept who you are. You should think of everyone as the same no matter what their differences. In the text " I Couldn't Imagine To Dye my Hair Blond" it states " As I have matured, I have learned not to be ashamed of my ethnicity. Instead of hiding who I really am, I have embraced my Mexican heritage and have become proud of it. Finding out many opportunities that are available to students of Hispanic descent has motivated me even more to delve deeper into my culture". This explains that Even though she was different she has learned that being unique and different is something to be proud of, not to be plain and as simple as others. ]]> 2021-10-21 13:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833429801 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833433547 You should never change yourself especially not for anybody else.]]> 2021-10-21 13:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833433547 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833434367 Accept your own ethnicity and cultures as well as others culture and ethnicity and don't judge others culture just because they are different. Mendoza was teased about her ethnicity and that made her think bad about herself.]]> 2021-10-21 13:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833434367 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833438202 A message that can be learned from reading "I Couldn't Imagine Wanting To Dye My Hair Blonde" by Christina Mendoza is everyone is unique in there own way, diversity is unique, being different is unique! For example, in paragraph 5 states, "The blonde girls are unique in their own way, but diversity makes the world go around." This shows that the Blonde girls are unique but diversity makes everything happen. Diversity is what makes Mendoza, Mendoza! Another example from paragraph 5 is, "I absolutely love being different and not walking the same path as everyone else." This proves that Mendoza loves being different, that being different is unique and amazing! In all, the message that can be learned is being unique is amazing, being different is unique. Its what makes this world a world. It's what makes our everyday life move.]]> 2021-10-21 13:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833438202 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833438702 Something that can be learned reading this is that always love yourself. This is because in paragraph 3 it says I felt "I was stuck somewhere in the middle of my sibling, stuck  in the middle of two cultures. When she says that she means that she doesn't know what culture she is in and it is hard for her to fit in. and not accepted by either. However in paragraph 4 it says "I learned not to be ashamed of my ethnicity instead of hiding who I really am. This means that she learned to love herself and know who she really is. ]]> 2021-10-21 13:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833438702 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833441215 One message that I learned from reading "I couldn't Imagine Wanting To Dye My Hair Blond" by Christina Mendoza is that being different is a good thing because you don't look or act like everyone else. Moreover, you are unique and the only one that stands out from everyone else. This is the message that I learned from'' I Couldn't Imagine Wanting To Die my Hair Blond. ]]> 2021-10-21 13:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833441215 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833441685 The message that can be taken from read this text is "It takes time". I believe this because in paragraph four Christina Mendoza said that it took her time to mature and accept herself and her heritage. When you're a kid you want to be liked and accepted and so you grow insecurities and things you don't like about yourself, it takes time to heal from the little comments and to accept yourself.  In paragraph 1 she says that she was bullied for looking different as a kid and so she started to hate herself, started to grow more and more insecurities and over time she realized there was nothing wrong with her.  In conclusion, the message that can be learned from this is that "it can take time to accept yourself" ]]> 2021-10-21 13:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833441685 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833441731 The message that could be learned from “I couldn’t imagine dying my hair blonde” by Christina Mendoza is that diversity is appreciated and you should accept yourself no matter the people around you. Mendoza went through the struggles of feeling like an outcast when she was younger, and this happens a lot. But then people learn to accept themselves within time, loving the fact that they are different and everyone else is too. For example, in paragraph five she states, “The blond girls are unique in their own way, but diversity makes the word go round” This shows that she appreciates the differences between people. Furthermore, In paragraph four she states, “Instead of hiding who I really am, I have embraced my Mexican heritage and become proud of it.” This shows that she has accepted herself and her culture. Overall, Christina Mendoza writes about how she struggled once when she was young, but she has grown to love herself and the diversity around her. ]]> 2021-10-21 13:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833441731 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833442651 The message that can be learned in “I Couldn’t Imagine Wanting to Dye My Hair Blond” is that you should accept yourself and others because if you listen to bullying and agree with it, you can do worse mentally and academically. If you start to accept yourself, you will be happier and feel better about yourself and you wouldn't be insecure about everything that is going on that is bad for you in your life. When you like yourself, you wouldn’t be in bad situations or think so hard about yourself as much. When you start to like yourself, it is like rain clouds clearing and when you start to feel better, it is like having a good, sunny day. If everyone felt this way, the world would be more positive and better for everyone.]]> 2021-10-21 13:20:10 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833442651 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833442880 The message you can learn from "I couldn't imagine wanting to dye my hair blonde" by Cristina Mendoza is that it's important to embrace your culture and be proud of your ethnicity. In paragraph 4 it states "I didn't just wake up one morning and think I'm proud to be Hispanic , but I have have learned not to be ashamed of my ethnicity." This shows that even though it might take some time it is important to not be ashamed of your culture In Paragraph 4 it also states "Instead of hiding who I really am, I have embraced my Mexican heritage and become proud of it." This shows that you should be proud of your ethnicity. ]]> 2021-10-21 13:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833442880 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833443705 That being different is something to embrace and should not be something to keep yourself down over. Accept yourself and others. When Mendoza accepts who she is she states "I was named a National Hispanic scholar". She also states that "Finding out about the many opportunities that are available to students of Hispanic decent". This show what she achieved after she started to be proud of who she was. ]]> 2021-10-21 13:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833443705 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833445798 A message that can be learned from "I Couldn't Imagine wanting to dye my hair blond" by Christina Mendoza is always accept your uniqueness because Mendoza did not do this it made life hard for her she cared so much about this that she got insecure and made up excuses for why she did not fit in but her family did but she gradually learned to accept her self and now she is doing amazing she was named a national Hispanic scholar.]]> 2021-10-21 13:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833445798 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833450657  What we can take away from reading "I Couldn't Imagine Wanting To Dye My Hair Blond" is that being different is what makes you special. It is ok to be different from others because that is what makes the world go round. You are unique in your own way and nothing should make you change that. In the text, Mendoza learns to accept herself after being teased by her classmates because of her Hispanic heritage and you should to. Learn to embrace your ethnicity and the person you are. Throughout the text, Mendoza eventually realizes that being different is not a bad thing. After she learns to accept herself, Mendoza becomes the best person that she can and earns herself the title of a National Hispanic Culture.]]> 2021-10-21 13:22:22 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833450657 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833460154 One message that can be learned is to love your culture and not be insecure. This is because in the text it says "My fathers ethnicity is well respected, My sister was the beauty queen, My mom and brother are Caucasian". This piece of evidence shows that its dangerous to be insecure because when you're insecure you find the good in everyone else but not in YOU. Additionally, the text says "the blonde girls are unique in their own way but diversity makes the world go round." This shows that everyone is beautiful and we should accept ourselves no matter the people around us. All in All, Listening to others is what makes us miserable since that's what makes us special. Instead we should love ourselves and embrace other cultures since that's what makes us special.]]> 2021-10-21 13:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833460154 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833462521 The message learned from, "I couldn't imagine wanting to dye my hair blonde" is that, no matter what you should except yourself as an important person. Even when others let you down, you should embrace that, not everyone is perfect. Your features and flaws mean nothing because were all human. And, no matter what's wrong with you, what makes you different, you're body, Were all perfect in different ways- were all our own person no matter the diversity. This is shown by how Mendoza explained how she learned to accept herself. This shows how, Time and age is a good way the learn acceptance. So, be proud of your ethnicity and culture. This is the message I took from "I couldn't imagine wanting to dye my hair blonde"]]> 2021-10-21 13:25:36 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833462521 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833466421 The message that can be learned in the reading "I Couldn't Imagine Wanting To Dye My Hair Blond" by Christina Mendoza is that it is okay to be different. Mendoza was bullied for being different. This unfortunately made Mendoza insecure and restrict her from doing the things she wants to like doing better in school. Mendoza started to make up excuses and lies just because she feels different. The text states, "By this time, she had become extremely good at giving the "you're unique speech and beautiful" speech, but it was hard for her to truly empathize with me because neither she nor my father knew how I felt." This explains that Mendoza feels that her family fits in but she doesn't. Later on, she matures and realizes to embrace who she is and started to not only do better in school but do better as a person.]]> 2021-10-21 13:26:43 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833466421 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833467124 Something that readers can take out from the text "I Couldn't Imagine Wanting To Dye My Hair Blond", is to never let your believes shadow the reality. In paragraph 3 Mendoza states, "My... family members didn't seem to have any trouble fitting in". Mendoza believes that her family members are perfect and accepted but its all in her mind since she is insecure about herself. Also she states, " Instead of hiding who I really am, I have learned not to be ashamed of my ethnicity". Over time Mendoza let go of her believes and embraced her culture and features. That's why readers should learn not to darken their mind with their believes.]]> 2021-10-21 13:26:54 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833467124 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833467959

The overall message is that it's okay to be different from others it is what makes you unique in your own way.]]> 2021-10-21 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833468430 https://padlet.com/brizard4/10p41u00rtrwahe3/wish/1833468878 The message that could be learned from the text “I Couldn’t Imagine Wanting to Dye My Hair Blond” is to embrace your ethnicity, no matter how long it may take to do so.
