Prompt: Hair can be a powerful way people express who they are and where they come from. Think about your own hair, your style, texture, or how you choose to wear it. How does your hair connect to your culture or your identity? Describe a moment when your hair made you feel proud, uncomfortable, or misunderstood, and explain why.

 Prompt Response: My hair connects to me to my culture because my hair is my mother's whose is Pakistani hair. To me its one of the few connections that ties me back to my heritage. I remember when someone recognized that it was middle eastern hair, and I felt proud. It made me realize I have more to offer than the traditional white hair I'd known for my life. 

Summary: I was absent, but I assume it had to do with the discussion of hair and how it relates to one's culture. 

Reflection: Hair is one of the easiest pieces to express one's self and offers insight into how someone see's themselves plus how they want to be perceived. To me its important to take care of your hair in a way that reflects yourself, because that's one of the first things people notice about you.
