1. What was your experience like traveling from the Student Union to the second floor of the library? What challenges did you face? - I had to sort of hard time trying to get to the places I needed to be because I needed to figure out the ramps and the ways to get in and out the student union to get to the library so I wouldn’t be late to class, I knew where the elevators where in the library because I had used hem before To get to my study rooms and to the MLSC. 2. Did checking a book out from the library feel like a simple or complicated task? - Checking out the book out the library was a simple task because I done that before also but also I knew may people were going to need that book so It was hard trying to get the things I needed from it and not feeling rushed but that probably was just me . 3. Discuss the impact that this role play had on your ability to empathize with individuals with physical disabilities. - The impact this had on my was fine at first then I need to go the MLSC for some math helped and then I suddenly felt bad because if we’ve ever been up there you know they everyone that works up there has some of physical disability and I didn’t want them to see if as I was making fun of them or anything like that so I walked away and then came bad when I was finish with the project.

Assignment Reflection (10 points) 1. What experience(s) made the strongest impression on you? Explain. - The physical disabilities had the strongest impression on me because I had to try something I had never done before but that’s ok I was embarrassed cause of the MLSC thing and like I said I didn’t anyone to don’t I was trying to be something I wasn’t or trying to be fun and make fun of people who have disabilities.

2. Discuss the ways that your experiences during this assignment impacted your perspective (point of view) and your perception (understanding) of the diversity issues. Please be specific and provide examples. - I am a very diverse person and I was raised to never judge a book by a cove and therefore a person either so I was very comfort with this project and nothing really bother me till the physical disabilities part but I was fine until them and it made me look and things with e wider range on knowledge about them and their culture.
