We’ve all judged someone the moment we saw them and suddenly a label is formed, whether it’s from a stereotype or a rumor we heard. But what if we could hit the reset button on that and change the way we see people? Since we live in a world where social labels and stereotypes shape how we connect with others, it is time to relearn, and rewire our perception of others. Pressing the reset button will not only transform the way you think, but also increase our empathy and create opportunities for more genuine human connection. Are you willing to reset how you see the world? Kira is an intelligent and enthusiastic student with a deep passion for language, music, and innovation.
