The most interesting thing that ever happened to me was when I went to New Orleans, Louisiana to go to the junior Olympics. My Friends and I were walking down on burban street asking people for directions to get to City park. We asked everybody that we saw and we kept ending up on the same street, because we couldn't understand their accents. So we come across this Caucasian male thinking that he would be more proper, but When we asked him, he talked just like the others. Seeing a Caucasian in New Orleans was shocking because New Orleans is a predominately black city, but when we heard him talk it just put the icing on the cake. It was actually a learning experience too because I used to stereo type whites for being primp and proper but I don't do that anymore. I now know that people may act different, look different, walk different, think different, but really we're all the same..
P.S.
I know this may sound a little racist and I'm sorry if anyone gets offended I don't mean to offend anyone in anyway. This was just the most interesting learning experience that every happened to me.
i have NEVER been to new orleans. what a great story!
