At my job at a before and after school childcare program, the staff believe I bring a new mindset with new ideas and ways to handle problems because of my young age. This is also partially because I am attending college for psychology. ]]> 2019-01-24 03:54:47 UTC https://padlet.com/alexism012/7ewwpkq7yg0a/wish/323764823 alexism012 https://padlet.com/alexism012/7ewwpkq7yg0a/wish/323764867 Identifying as able-bodied has provided me with many advantages over people who are disabled. I do not have to worry about transportation from one place to another or how I am going to enter a building. These are simple things that I normally overlook that people who are disabled cannot do. For example, I can enter the front door of every building on campus. People who are in a wheelchair cannot say the same. ]]> 2019-01-24 03:55:10 UTC https://padlet.com/alexism012/7ewwpkq7yg0a/wish/323764867 alexism012 https://padlet.com/alexism012/7ewwpkq7yg0a/wish/323764892 Identifying as female has put me at a slight disadvantage in society compared to men because I am treated differently. I am constantly asked when I am going to get married and have children, I am told I am emotional, and I am told to dress a certain way in order to look appealing to men. For example, I am warned not to walk alone across campus or wear revealing clothing that may lead men on. Also, having a transgender brother has shown me that identifying as my biological sex has protected me from rude comments and mistreatment. ]]> 2019-01-24 03:55:24 UTC https://padlet.com/alexism012/7ewwpkq7yg0a/wish/323764892 alexism012 https://padlet.com/alexism012/7ewwpkq7yg0a/wish/323764913 Since I identify as heterosexual, I do not have to worry about openly expressing my sexuality to my family or in public. I did not have to worry about "coming out" to my parents or bringing my significant other home for the first time. ]]> 2019-01-24 03:55:39 UTC https://padlet.com/alexism012/7ewwpkq7yg0a/wish/323764913 alexism012 https://padlet.com/alexism012/7ewwpkq7yg0a/wish/323765075 Speaking predominantly English has allowed me to have an easier life in the United States because I do not have to be concerned about communication. For example, I do not have to worry about having a translator present when going to appointments. ]]> 2019-01-24 03:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/alexism012/7ewwpkq7yg0a/wish/323765075 alexism012 https://padlet.com/alexism012/7ewwpkq7yg0a/wish/323765105 Identifying as Caucasian has allowed me to be of the dominant race. With that being said, I have not had to face discrimination because of my race in a school or social setting. ]]> 2019-01-24 03:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/alexism012/7ewwpkq7yg0a/wish/323765105
