Not only has my experience changed the way I will interact with my family, but I also plan on using LARA more with my friends. In our second last class, we talked about actions we plan on taking outside of IDP. I decided that I would start small and realistically with my friends and teammates. Sometimes I hear sexist jokes or comments from them, so when these arise, I plan on talking to the person in a way that I affirm first before telling them why it is wrong. For example, if someone were to say that no one cares about the woman’s hockey team, I would approach him later and say, “Hey man, I get that you were just trying to make a funny joke, but I don’t think you should say that.

While most of the details that reside on my blanket are small and often remain unnoticed, each one makes it more important to me.
