Personal Essay Topic

It was hard to decide what topic I was going to chose for my first essay. I decided I would write about my experience i had with stereotyping. The exercise we did in class made me realize that i could right about my experience. My stereotype experience came from where i went to high school. I went to a small private high school in Oklahoma City. Many people in the Oklahoma City area would also consider kids from my high school to be filthy rich and spoiled. If i ever went up to a person that I met for the first time they would just assume that. I met a group of girls one time and that was the first thing they said to me "Oh so that means you are really rich?" It would always be very frustrating when people would say things like that because the stereotype is not true. I know many friends from my high school that are not as well off as many of the people that are making these stereotypes about my school. I hope while looking into this stereotype about my high school. I understand since its private school that assumptions can be made but i believe its unfair for people to make statements like I have heard before just because of a school you go to. I am excited to write about this topic because i have never before and i have been dealing with it for a couple of years now.
