Since coming to Bryn Mawr I've had a few conversations pertaining to the idea of growing up in a bubble. Growing up in a bubble usually implies a safe and mostly positive upbringing, however I came to learn that this is not the only bubble you can grow up in. My bubble was sheltered from ideas of financial security, the white majority, and political correctness. When I came up to Bryn Mawr I met people who accepted everyone no matter their differences, had parents that could pay for their education, and were majorily white or from white areas. We both grew up in bubbles where we had heard about the other but never truly experienced the other's lifestyle. I think it would be interesting to research further into the idea of connecting these "bubbles" and seeing how they effect those who in a way burst theirs when coming into contact with others.
