One time I was judged unfairly

 One time I was judged unfairly I was at school. Everybody was taller than me, they used to call me short and everything. Used to tell me that I'm ugly and pick on me. I couldn't do anything because I was short and skinny. But in my 10th-grade year, I started growing. 11th grade year I am now 5'9. I used to be 5'3, but got taller and built differently. But today my class started a novel called "A Lesson Before Dying", by Ernest Gaines. We finished chapter one today. The novel is about a boy named Jefferson who is being charged with 3 murders and robbery in 1896 when jim crow laws were born. But some things I learned from this novel is that you need to make sure that you know the people who you're hanging around with and that you need to stay away from people that are trouble so you won't be in this situation that Jefferson is in

Privacy is essential for feeling safe and secure, and when it's compromised, it can lead to a loss of trust and a sense of powerlessness. It’s a deeply personal matter, especially in today’s world, where our digital presence is a significant part of our lives. As for whether privacy is a basic civil liberty , it is. Today we read a poem in class called Refugee In America by Langston Hughes. In this poem, it actually taught me a lot of things. About freedom and liberty, in the poem he talks about how he loves freedom. But when he talks about liberty he knows he's not free.

What is the most important aspect of your identity? Tell what it is and why.

Family and Community, Family ties and strong community bonds are often central to Black African American identity. History of Struggle and Resilience, The legacy of slavery, civil rights struggles, and ongoing battles against systemic racism shape much of the identity for Black African Americans. Music genres like jazz, blues, hip-hop, gospel, and other art forms, are often viewed as vital expressions of identity. Today in class we had to read a poem called I, Too by Langston Hughes. This short poem talks about Langston Hughes in a white family, and he is being treated bad, but he doesn't care. When reading this poem, it teaches me that you can do or be anything in life. After reading it, we had to create a mask about ourselves.
