Have you ever been stereotyped?

By Anonymous -
All of the time I am categorized by being "white", but what does that really mean? When people look at me they don't ask me what is my ethnicity they just say I'm white, or make the assumption that I am. Though, the truth is, I'm not. I am a mixture of things and I don't just see myself as being white. It's not a bad thing to be white don't get me wrong but it's just not me. I wish people would ask me what ethnicity I am, because I would very explicitly tell them, but I guess I can't have it all. So, whenever someone chooses to call me white I'll just simply tell them what I see myself as, and if they can't except that then they're not worth my time.

In the book Chopsticks by Jessica Anthony and Rodrigo Corral it tells a love story between the main characters Gloria Fleming and Francisco Mendoza. In the book it shows how Francisco is a new student attending Willard Dunn School for boys. The book also shows how other main character Gloria who is missing is a well known pianist who travels from place to place, city to city to inspire people with her extraordinary music. With these two characters the book so far has explained where they came from, who they are, and how they begin to fall in love. The first main character the story talks about is Gloria fleming, a very talented and gifted girl who has suddenly gone missing. Throughout the story so far they portray Gloria to be a kind-hearted girl who has gone through some times yet still finds a way to persevere. For example in the story the author says, “Her mother, Maria Torres Fleming, a wine expert…died in a motorcycle accident in 2000.” meaning she has gone through

Nick Blog Post

Trait 1: The first trait that I think described Nick was having courage. I think Nick has courage because he was able to take his story and share it with the world even though it might've been difficult. Trait 2: The second trait that I think describe Nick was having the ability to preserve. Nick is very perserverent because he took how he was with no arms or legs and made it a positive thing and something that he learned to live with and is no in a way proud. Trait 3: The third trait I chose that described Nick was confidence. Nick has confidence because he's proud of who he is and embraces it instead of feeling bad for himself and hating life. Connection: Over the summer I got very sick and was told I may not be able to do certain things that I really love to do like dance or play Volleyball. Though I found a way to eventually work around this  and found away to do the things I love and do it safely. This relates to Nick because he was told he couldn't do things like f

Fools Gold by Melody Carlson is about a Young Girl named Hannah who loses herself. She is a young girl from Australia and her parents are missionaries. She doesn't quite act the same and when her parents leave her with her uncle this summer, she truly realizes this maybe isn't the life she wants, or is it? In the book Hannah is faced with many obstacles and she really gets to see some natural ugly teenage drama. Throughout the book she is mortified numerous amount of times and for what? She then becomes face to face with a choice that can possibly really effect her in life. You have to read to find out the path she takes and if fitting in is worth loosing herself for. I really loved this book and thought it shared so many valuable lessons. Not only that but the book also displayed many issues and events that are so relatable and can effect you in a big way, especially if you're a teenager. I would give this book a 4 star rating out of 5 because I wish the ending had mor
