It’s easy for us to get stuck in our own minds and own worlds. This causes us to not see the perspectives of others. Take a moment to consider the perspectives of the people listed in the following prompt. Choose the perspective of one person for your focus. Write a short paragraph that shows you understand the person’s perspective as you try to put yourself “in their shoes.” Consider these questions:

What might be this person’s struggles?
How does this person see the world around him or her?
What decisions would you make if you were in this person’s place?
