I guess that my biggest hope in taking this class is to see exactly what not to do if I ever do become a professional writer. I hope that if I am so blessed, that I will not write about anything with such blatant disregard for the truth or take anything as out of context as some of these early examples do. However, I also hope to be able to travel as far as these people did. I also hope to learn a little bit about the culture.
As for my personal experience with people from other cultures, I went to West Bloomfield schools for 6 and a half years, which exposed me to many people from diverse cultures, including Islamic students, Indian students, Jewish students, and Gifted students. These interactions have helped to shape me into who I am today, and my attitude towards other cultures is very much a positive one. However, I have found that I myself have a nasty prejudice against English writers that write about other cultures.

What's this? Another wannabe writer? Yay! What are your publication aspirations? Are you into fiction or non-fiction?
I wish I could say that I grew up amid such diversity, but that would be a lie. My hometown is very vanilla-flavored. But what do you expect when you live in the middle of nowhere and fields take up more space than buildings?
I'm interested in both fiction and non-fiction. I'd be happy just to get published!
It would be a lie for me to say that it was an easy time for me when I was in the situation, but I'm glad to have gone through it.
