I feel that I am an advocate for all of humankind - regardless of potentially conflicting points of view - in that, I always place the person before me: first - always before my own personal needs and perceptions. Part of this placing others first before myself may come from my Texan up-bringing where society allows for the personalized politeness and general courtesy that I provide to others.
I wish for the world to consider that some of the negative stigmas attached to Native Texans are untrue. Often, Native Texans are highly intelligent, open-minded, and generous people who care deeply about the various challenges of our collective world. It has been my personal experience that persons from New England have judged me in a negative manner based upon the fact that I was born and raised in the State of Texas.
