Ageism

Ageism is an overlooked way of being prejudiced. You look at somebody because of their age, and tell them off the rip that they are too young or too old for the job without giving them any sort of opportunity to showcase what exactly they can do.

The store would look very modern with floor to ceiling windows in the front of the store with glass doors. As far as decorations go I would buy paintings from local artists a

Mental health is something that can be very tiring on somebody, or it can make you anxious to walk into a crowded room. It can make you second guess yourself to wear you lose confidence in your appearance. I’ve experienced many situations where my mental health caused me to lose confidence in myself to the point where I didn’t want to go out in public. Something that has helped me overcome my anxiety is dressing how I want to, to my standards. Growing up I was told “if you look good you play good” and I always thought it was just something all the older people told me before my games. I may not have applied it to the basketball court but I did apply it to my life and it has helped with my anxiety immensely. Wearing what I like and what I want allows me to be the most comfortable and confident in my own skin. The photo of me was from a week ago and I was low on confidence, but going outside and taking these pictures did boost my confidence because I liked the outfit and the pictures e
