My narrative takes place at the mall which is located at Westfield Southcenter Mall, Tukwila Washington. South Center mall is located at a very diverse city.

This event taught me not to beat up myself because it's life and things happen but the most important lesson I learned was that I need to learn more about what people think about Muslims on why we dress the way we do because I think that I can change their views by talking to
