Answered step-by-step
Asked by ConstableFlag8477
Generally, life has presented itself as a learning space for me. In Kenya, I experienced prejudice in a subtle but evident manner in the school setting. I went to a school where I was from a minority cultural background, and some students would make sensitive statements in class that did not immensely affect my learning but enough to make me ponder why I had to hear that. That said, it was difficult for me because I could not understand why this opinion was projected onto me, yet, we were all born in the same country. The teachers did little to nothing to ensure students made no remarks about other peoples’ cultures.
At some point in school, I pushed one of my classmates away because of remarks that I heard her mention regarding my culture, and at that point, my parents were called to the school. Moving forward, I am very grateful for my parents, they have always supported me with every step I have taken, and from them, I was encouraged to be firm and confident and handle life in a mature yet thoughtful manner. Today, I like to embrace life with a beginner’s mind, especially in a social setting. I have learned to refrain from facing other individuals based on the preconceived thoughts I have because a genuine character and personality are what make us noble people.
