Reflect on your unique background and tell us about a time when you had to relate to someone whose life experience was very different from your own. how did you approach the difference? if put in a similar situation again today, would you respond differently? if so, how?

Here is my answer to the questions above. A unique background of mine that I had to relate to someone whose life experience was very different from mine is when a friend who got pregnant but chose to abort her baby. The way I approached the difference was that, I had to keep an open mind about her decision. I listened to her of what could be her strong reasons why she committed that. I am a mother too so it was really a hurtful situation on my side. If put in a similar situation again, I would not respond differently. We are in different walks of life, so whatever the decisions made by others has reasons. Respect and open mindedness must always be there.
