What I tried to do was look like a cowboy from Mexico. I dressed in my cowboy boots and hat from Mexico and wore a shirt that my grandma gave me. I went out to eat at Panera with my mom and my sister because I didn’t really want to go in a super public place because I didn’t want to feel super uncomfortable. When we went, I noticed a lot of people staring at me and I just tried to laugh about it rather than feel uncomfortable. I didn’t go up to anyone nor did I have anyone ask me about what I was wearing which I am glad because I’m not a super social guy. I did ask my friends through text by showing them the picture and they said I looked like I just came back from Mexico. In conclusion, I thought the project was pretty cool because it gets you out of your comfort zone. I thought it was also cool because you can become a completely different person but people in public won’t know that because you’re a complete stranger to them. Next time, I would probably just try to go to a more public area like the mall or the grocery store and ask people what they thought about me.
