Evaluating Impacts on Professional Practice

            In today society, many children suffer from racism and sexism they are being picked on by school children every day, some hate to go outside of their home because they are afraid of being picked on or being bullying. Imagine how it must feel to young children being not accepted by the community or society. We as professionals need to cry out against this ism(s) I suffer from a lot of biases such as, being black, having short nappy hair, dumb and a problem in speaking the correct way people want me to speak.

              I remember on one Saturday evening I was coming out of the store and got near to the car, and I reached for the door when I heard a small voice saying “nega”. My heart started to pound in my chest I rushed and open the car door and got in I looked over to my left. There was this older man about sixty years old standing outside of the car where the little small voice came from. I could not believe this man never open his mouth and tell the boy that he was wrong in calling me a racist name. I was about 15 year of age and was judged by the color of my skin. At that moment, I started to hate that man and that little boy also. But as I grew up to become a young lady I had a changing heart, for example, where there was hate I replaced it with love. I can truly say that I have a clean heart, and I love all people of races because I have accepted Jesus Christ into my heart. I am a woman of color, and I love me because there was a time I hated myself. When I heard that little boy called me a nega it made me think. For example: I did not finish college because I though I was dumb and stupid, I started to think about it. I heard and seen a commercial about when life throws you a lemon, turn around and make you some lemonade. Look at me now getting my master’s degree at Walden University one of the best Universities in the United States of America. Look at me being educated by the finest professors in the United States of American.
