What is your American Dream? What do you like most about America?

If I had to imagine my "American Dream," I think it would center around the idea of endless potential for growth, innovation, and freedom. America, in many ways, has represented the idea that anyone, regardless of their background, can achieve great things with hard work and determination. I’d say my dream would be about encouraging that spirit of progress and opportunity, where everyone has access to the resources and support they need to chase their passions. Today we read a book called Let America Be America Again by Langston Hughes. We had read it and did a project. We had to choose one of the characters from the story and make them time travel to 2025. This really taught me how we blacks would be if it was still like their timeline. Getting mistreated, beaten, accused, and people being racist to our kind.

How would you feel if your privacy was invaded online or on your phone? Do you think privacy is a basic civil liberty?

If my privacy were invaded online or on my phone, I’d likely feel violated, anxious, and vulnerable . 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.
