Shook my reality

One thing on the trip that shook my reality was when I did the lunch counter simulation. There was people yelling in my ears and I could feel their hot breath crawling into my earlobe. I felt my chair being pushed and turned. I was getting really scared and I forced myself to give in. I knew I wanted to accomplish my goal. Although it wasn’t the real thing I got to imagine and experience the same hatred they did.  That put everything into perspective and I felt like I was in the movement with them.
