Danger of a single story

Some dangers of a single story are, just assuming when someone’s poor that there’s all known for and what they do. Another danger of is just assuming that one kids dumb and that he isn’t going anywhere bc that’s all he’s good at. I’ve made some assumptions about other people, like for an example I saw this really scrawny kid named Kevin. I assumed that he was wreak and bad at everything he’s does, but really he’s pretty good at everything he does and he’s decently strong. We’re best friends now and always have been but thats one danger story I assumed about him. Some assumptions that people made about me is when I was in elementary, everyone thought I was crazy because I would never really talk or say a word unless I was spoken too. But now I’m just a big ignoramus, that can’t shut his mouth. But that’s assumptions people made about me. Well at the time they was right, I didn’t really talk that much but I wasn’t weird, but it did kind of hurt my feelings because the assumed something that was kind of true but besides the weird part. If differs because now I’m nothing like that, I’m just like any other kid now. But I’m probably more opened minded then some other kids. It’s important to recognize multiple different view points about someone, so you don’t just assume that there only good at thing.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
