Learning the truth
Write about a time when you made a wrong assumption. Did you realize your mistake right away, or did someone tell you later? What did you learn from your mistake?
Nothing specific comes to mind, but I am one of those people who like to fill in the blanks when meeting someone new. As soon as someone starts talking, giving me a little information like their profession, where they're from, and their opinion on something, I get preconceived notions about them. You probably do this too. Doctors, lawyers and maybe even Indian Chiefs have a certain built-in status, and even though you may not know much about them personally, you have a template already in mind.
I've been surprised many times by people who have later became friends. I always tend to elevate people and then after getting to know them, have to reconcile their normalcy to my previous ideas. Sometimes this is disappointing to me.
