Write about an experience when someone assumed something about you because of a stereotype. What was the situation, and what did you do?

 Prompt Response: I experienced a stereotype when I was in gym class. We were about to play dodgeball and had to be on teams, but the boys thought I wasn't gonna be any good to the team because I am a girl. I ended up proving them wrong, and my team won.

Summary: The boys assumed I wasn't good because of my gender, then after we won, they started to treat me differently and told me how good I was.

Reflection: This experience showed me how wrong and unfair gender stereotypes are.
