Least Favorite Word:
stereotypeJust because 100 people before me said the wall in front of you was red when it was really black -don't assume I'm just like them.
If I say that wall is black - thats exactly what I mean and that's what I see and what I believe. After you know me for a year I'll still be the same person.
Get to know a person, don't assume, don't judge and don't stereotype.
