Practcing Awareness of Mircoaggressions

Practicing Awareness of Mircoaggressions

I remember when I work at after school program the children was talking about singing voice. Over the summer the children did performed Beauty and The Beast. The child that play Belle sound it white but she was black and one of the boys said you sound white where is soul at. The microaaggression that happen was stereotype.  I could not believe that children at this age all ready are forming stereotype about each other. I talk to the child and explain to him that every body dose not sound the same and everybody voice is beautiful in their own way.  I also learn this week about shunning with culture. For example is your have a mental illness in the Asian culture they shunned you the do not talk to you at. I had parent that was shunned because she suffer from mental illness and only one parent speck to her. The rest of the parent look but don’t say nothing to her.

 

From this experience I found out that children form stereotype are early age. We as teacher should show children the good in everybody. The more they are expose to different culture the more they will learn that everybody is different. I also feel that in  culture when do not accept the difference in people.

A description of three items you would choose

How you would explain to others what each of these items  means to you

In my music collection I have over 5000 cd . My music collection is my escape  from world.

My Try God Necklace  is piece  of jewelry that my mother gave me . It remind me of her love for me.

 My family photos are picture of my family member that are important to me.

My feels for give up two items upon arrival is easy I would let go my music  collection and family photo. My music collection can be replace. My family photo can be replace in my  memory . I like to remember people the way they were.  The one items that I am keeping is my Try God Necklace  because it is what keep me going though the day.


The insight I gain my doing this assignment was that I learn how my parents feel when the came to this country and left everything behind to come here.  For example I had a parent who left her daughter in Ecuador with mom . She had not seen her daughter since she left to come America . I had a lot of parents that left family  member in their country. So do go back and see them  but most of the do not . This experience got me to think about having to come to new place with nothing  and not knowing any body and try to make.
