Everything from the taste of home one gets when a familiar dialect pierces the drone of “normal speech” heard day in and day out, or the enticing words of a Southern Belle attracting anyone within earshot, to the struggles one must endure to modify, or cover up, their native tongue and the harsh stereotypes given to people after speaking only a simple phrase.

I walk to the back of the classroom, and sit exactly in the middle. Then I put my head down, and wait for class to start.…
