Prompt: Throughout your classmates' presentations, you were exposed to a variety of cultural foods and traditions. How did these presentations shape your understanding of different cultures? Share your opinion on what stood out most.

 Prompt Response: The presentations highlighted how many different types of foods there are out there in my neighborhood that are normal for them but I've never heard of it. It is like discovering there has been another world under your nose. The presentations illustrated that many of these cultures exist all together in one place, you just have to know where to look. What stood out to me the most was how everyone treated their culture's foods. For the one presenting it felt so normal and they seemed almost bored referring to their foods. Meanwhile to me I've never heard or seen something like these dishes before. It was shocking in a good way. 

Summary: In class we presented our projects about our culture and how it connects to the food we eat, along with watch our classmates present as well. 

Reflection: We often think of other cultures as existing in another place or world from us. We can just watch or hear about them but realizing they are right next to us is another thing. The melting pot of different cultures we have here in Atlanta is surprising and wonderful.
