The dangers of a single story

1.) Leo is a Mexican but Leo was born in the United States so he is a U.S citizen but his were born in Mexico. But that is not all about Leo he may be a Mexican but he is known as a U.S citizen he can speak fluent English and still speak Spanish.

2.) i haven’t made other assumptions about people because i feel like it’s not right for myself to judge someone if they belong here or not or if they’re american.

3.)i got assumptions from the video of the African american lady speaking about her life and others

4.) i have not made interactions with these types of people or of a group of people because i would not want to offend them.

5.) i do think people make assumptions about me but i’ve never heard them so i’m not totally sure but i wouldn’t doubt that someone hasn’t.

6.) i think the comment in the video are accurate and the opinions are good even if some of the things said are inappropriate.

7.) i think when people judge me it’s not very accurate. i think i’m outgoing and a nice person.

8.) the version of her story is stiffener because of where she’s from and how she get treated as i get more privlage.

9.) people can’t help with what race they are and i think some people forget that you can be a different race and still be american.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
