"People often make the mistake that I'm stupid, especially my family. Today's society is go-getter money-oriented. Money doesn't motivate me. That doesn't make me stupid, it just means my priorities are different. I don't define success with dollar signs. My children and my art are my priorities. When I'm dead, they will be my legacy. Guaranteed with four children, my legacy will last longer than someone working double shifts to buy an Xbox. I want my art to live on, too. I hope it lives on long after I'm gone. So, I put my energy into my children, mot just buying them things, but teaching them. I put my energy into painting, with each painting my skills improve." -Melanie Peine.

Stereotyped As A White Woman (Prompt Answer)
Describe a time when you felt you were unfairly stereotyped because of your age or any other characteristic.
"I felt I was stereotyped as a young white woman who can clean the house, wore dresses, and had babies. This stereotype of women has not ended yet. Women will always have babies and clean the house and take care of children. It was always the thing that women have done through the years. The older I get the better I get at the job of being stereotyped as a White Mother." - Lorrie W.
*We would love more examples of stereotypes as B&B doesn't feel this is a good example in this day and age.*

** Thankfully, there will be another blog with this same prompt. It will not be titled "Part 2" or anything due to the answers being different in Nature.**
