Answer: "In this imagined situation, I am a high school student working in a convenience store located in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. As a non-Hispanic individual, I am in the cultural minority in this setting. I can hear customers speaking in Spanish, and I notice that the majority of the store's signage and advertising is also in Spanish. When I interact with customers, I feel a sense of being an outsider, as though I am not fully a part of this cultural community. I am aware that I do not fully understand some of the cultural references or customs that are familiar to the local customers, and this can make me feel isolated and self-conscious at times. However, I try to stay positive and do my best to provide excellent customer service, despite feeling like I don't fully fit in with the local culture."
