Being Content with Myself

Color and race does not define who you are. Each individual has their own personality. No matter if you’re Black, White, or Asian doesn’t mean you have to act or dress a certain way. In the story, Being Content with Myself, the author tells his story of what he experienced. He was judged harshly because he didn’t dress or act like a person of his race. Many people put labels on others based on race, color, or ethnicity. The author stayed true to himself and found the strength to reach himself to be the person he wants to be not what other people want him to be. He made the decision to listen to his inner voice. Being stereotyped is very common. Individuals should be themselves. Everyone needs to stop being so judgmental towards others.
