The Cool Kids

Being accused of acting white is seen as wrong because people of other ethnics take it as trying to…

that I what I was doing was to help kids and that this wasn’t for me. I remember my first show that I did. At that age, I wasn’t expected to be good it was more just for the “cute factor”. Right before we went on I was so nervous, and I remember when I first walked out in front of all those people I suddenly froze and was just memorized by all the lights shining directly into my eyes. After we danced I watched the older kids dance and I thought they were so cool because they all did their dance…

Facebook was becoming less popular as I entered high school and all my friends were joining Twitter, but I was hesitant to create an account. I did not really post on Facebook so Twitter did not seem like a site that I would use, but after some peer pressure I finally made an account. As soon as I clicked on the “create account” button on Twitter, I knew what I was going to use Twitter for: showing others how I wanted to be perceived. Twitter is my main social media tool and it is the app…

Kassin. Ms. Waldo was really funny and nice most of the time. Her mother’s side of the family was from France and her father’s side of the family was from the United States. She also looks pretty young for age, just like fine wine. Mr. Kassin is really cool, too. He served as Major for the US Marines way back when and is a proud American. He is always there if I need help with anything and is kind to his classes pretty much all the time. Also, he doesn’t give any assignments that are too hard to…
