I am able to identify with the teacher in chapter 2 because when I was growing up I didn’t always have all the things that I wanted, but my parents did everything for my sisters and me in order to have a great childhood.

To not be ashamed of who they are and where they’d come from? " It’d leave him wondering how it would feel to be accepted. It’s tough to imagine children experiencing something as horrid as discrimination, it’s even harder to believe they’re also the ones causing it.

This is how I first view my life story for the last three years. At first, I never thought this class would help me realize who I am nor what I have to value until eight weeks ago.
