-: The best thing that I will tell someone
is to remember that they're people too
and remember that you could be in this instant in a moment.
You know you could be in the same situation.
And to look at people with pride.
No matter what they bring, no matter how they step to you,
remember they're a person.
And I work from a strengths perspective.
Every person I've met is really, really good at something.
It may not be something that's gonna be beneficial to them
as far as financing,
but they're good at something.
So I ask people, look past their situation.
Look past their clothes.
Look at the person as a person,
and always remember that that could be you too.
And I think that's where my passion comes,
because that was me.
The best class that I loved was
when we took diversity classes,
'cause I learned a lot about other people.
And I have lots of friends that are diverse,
so to really sit and talk about some of the things
that I know, then get to ask some more questions.
Well, why do you do this?
Well, you know I know about this,
but what does it really stand for?
And just learning about other people's norms
and their music and their food
and you know what's maybe considered harsh to them,
but it's only the same to them,
and so learning more of how to get along with other people,
outside of my box.
Mingling we did outside of classes,
like a lotta the group projects
especially a lotta the political stuff
which we had to work on,
which was a lot of policies and stuff,
that was also intriguing.
You know to get seven or eight people
and to find out the differences
about how they feel about it,
and how the government's going about it.
So I would probably say those were the best
two classes I think I enjoyed.
