Schwalbe Reading

Most people don't think that they're judgemental or stereotypical. This reading really opened my eyes to how many people, who actually think they're open-minded, live their lives within such strict boundaries. I realized that even though I feel as though I try to see people for who they are and not based on categorizing, at times I fall into that same group of people that unknowingly group other people. Another aspect of this reading that really touched me was the whole idea of what mark you want to leave on the world, and how short life really is. Part of my nature is to be concerned about others and the world around me. I started thinking about the impact I want to leave on the people I leave behind, and I want people to remember me as someone who did her best, cared about others, and really tried to make a difference.
