Prompt Response: I had a stereotype against sushi once because I believed that it was just raw fish and gross. My friend told me about the California roll and I realized I was wrong. It was fresh and really good. My perspective changed after that bite. I realized that judging food based on stereotypes can cause me to miss out on tasty things. Now I am more open to try new things.

Summary: I am always thinking about new foods to try and I usually do. Sushi was just one that was a little harder for me to try. I still hate seafood though.

Reflection: I am very excited for prom on Friday.
