People see me as a normal person, but I see me as a not really smart person. I see people going into the smart classes, and I’m going to the not really smart classes. But I see me as a — smart person. People see me as a normal girl, but I see me as a funky girl. I like to wear funky stuff, but when I get to school, I’m embarrassed to show what I’m wearing. So when I wear something funky I would take it off or wear my sweater all day until school’s over, but I see myself as a funky girl. I’m proud to be a funky girl because I want to stand out.

The World As I See It By: Anonymous People see me as a black kid. Just another face in the crowd. But I am way more than just that. I am a human being who deserves to be accepted, Just as anyone else in this world. So what if my blood is not purely one race — But everyone is the same. So people need to just accept me for me!
