This is the place on which, years ago, I fell. It is the place where my corpse was covered with cold, dry, dirt and left to decompose. I, however, am not entirely gone.

These sounds do not come often, so most of the time, I brood

Everyday Life I have read and fully understand the article Racial Microaggressions in Everyday Life: the Implications for Clinical Practice. However, I must admit the article does not sit well with me and I have learned I have been a microaggressor since my early days; specifically, I have offered microinsults many times over without even realizing it. Through the years, I have thought of myself as one who consciously believes in equal rights for “all”; not just the American people, but people of all races

Prior to taking this wonderful history class I had the opportunity to read a book that awoke my curiosity about China. History in general is a fascinating way to travel with our minds and learn more about our past, about what made us a society, how did we get to be what we are.
