Journal#22Have I ever been discriminated against

2005-10-13T09:37:00.000-07:00

Yes, I have been discriminated against. It was my Senior year of highschool and soccer try-outs were going on. We had to try out for about four weeks and they would decide who goes on which team, well the seniors had to be put onto the Varsity side or then they would get kicked off the team. Well that's not exacly how it went for me I stoped trying out. The reason for that was, my coach picked the teams and every one was put on either J.V. or varsity. Know tell me why he didn't put the two black girls on a team. He told us that we had to try out for two more weeks and then he will decide which team we go on. Now I know that I am good eneough to have been on Varsity for the three years that I was at my highchool but the coach was racist because every year the varsity team was all white. No one of racist was on that team.

My favorite book would have to be The Second Summer of the Sisterhood by Ann Brashares.

It is also very good it is like a really girly book though because it telling you the problems and the things that they are doing. Then it tells you about how they stayed friends because of the pants. If they didn't have them then they would probably would have not stayed friends. So basically these pants that they keep mailing each other they basically fit each one of them so they got them and mailing back and forth after they worn them for the whole week without washing them.

Journal#6 The one difficulty I faced coming to SMCC

2005-08-31T09:56:00.000-07:00

The difficulty that I face coming to this school is that I run in to some of the kids that I went to highschool with and also the classes and how you work in the computer all the time for the class that I have. The other thing is that you can actually blend in and people will never know that you exist and that goes for the classes, if you don't talk the teacher will never know that you are there. But it is better than a actual University cause you can get help from the teachers all you have to do is go up to them. Then is also a place were you can go to get help. Then there aren't really any dances in college like there is in high school. It is basically a very different atmosphere than any were. Pluse SMCC is getting ready for a University or the reall world.
