 Drake as a role
model.
Being a role model for someone is an
honor because the person respects
you enough to aspire to be like you
however, being labeled as a model
for other racial minority groups is not
an honor.

 Discussion
What is something new you learned from
todays cAPItal?
What are some ways that APSA plays a part
in helping to break the model minority
myth?
What are ways that you can personally do
to break the model minority myth?
I was born to
make mistakes,
I am an Asian American who was
not born to be perfect and live up
to standards society has placed
not to fake upon me.

perfection No one in this room should be and

that is why the concept of the

-Drake model minority is just a myth.

Everyone gets into groups of 6 and spreads out
Once they get into their groups, everyone says their name
and an animal they would want to be companions with.
-Animals cannot be repeated
Once everyone does that, a person volunteers to be in the
middle and everyone outside the circle has their hands out.
Someone calls out an animal from the group and the person
in the middle must slap the hand of the person that animal
is associated with.
If the person with the animal that gets called on says a
different animal from the circle, then the person in the
middle must tag out the new animal.
