Be careful... you represent more then yourself

 Along the same lines of my earlier post I have to say it's very strange how one person can influence how you feel about an entire group. 

Growing up in a military town I had a lot of friends that were children of different cultures. Most of my friends when I was small had German mothers.  To this day every time I see a German mother I think of how headstrong they were.  How nice they were. I love their voices and their accents and I think of the every German mom being like these two people were. 

They influenced my thoughts on that.  

Had they been mean, ugly, or spiteful, I would've probably thought the whole race of German moms were mean, ugly, and spiteful. So I think it's important that you know you could be influencing people on how they feel about an entire body of people. whether is about religion...ethnic group... or your station in life.

You can be influencing people just by how you act today.
