Stereotyping
Paola C. Rivera
I'm sitting on the bench of the park in my neighborhood watching boys playing football. I'm dying to play with them just wondering how to ask them. Just my luck two girls that I just met minutes before, came and sat about three yards away. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but in reality I did.
"I really want to go play," Said the first girl in spanish.
I also noticed that they had a huge advantage over me, because they knew all the guys that were playing and I only knew one. So I went over to them and sat down. "Hey I heard you talking, I really want to play too." And then just like that, I was playing with all the boys. The two girls I guess got bored and left, so I was the only girl there.
The second we started to play I noticed that they didn't exactly treat me equally, just because I was a girl. I was really mad because I hate when people do that. So I taught them that, girls can play football. If there was one thing I know about football is that you should tackle anyone who has the ball and so I did.
