In today’s society, a lot of things are conspiring due to lack of communication and cultural awareness of other people taught in schools and at home. For example, as a African American female, its hard for me to sometimes make friends in a new setting, especially when I am a minority in a big setting. Coming to OSU, was a big change due to my race always being the majority in school. So me making friends the first two weeks was hard. I feel like a lot of people are scared to come up to me also for the fact that I have a resting mean mug on my face. I think I am smiling…while my friends before they were my friends told m they thought I always had an issue with them lol. I feel like classes on social, body, and speaking languages need to be in some type of seminar class. I also believe that it is needed in the workforce. A lot of mircoagressions go underway because some are ignorant to what is offensive to others, and I believe that is the number cause of unneeded police shootings and brutalities now!

I want to be able to have students help me lead by having a team effort. I want to be able to take classroom experience classes and develop my skills to become the best at what I want to be
