    Jahayra Navarro reflects on their ELA 11 course, particularly the transcendentalism unit. They learned to not care about societal labels and stereotypes through these readings. The lessons connected to their own senior project sharing Latino heritage with their school community. Despite friends thinking it is racist and exclusive, Navarro decided to follow Emerson's philosophy of doing what they are passionate about regardless of others' opinions. The transcendentalism unit remained meaningful as it helped Navarro think differently about others' perspectives and become more open-minded and indifferent to what people say or think of them.
