“Can
I go potty?”
I experienced a huge social change when I was about 7. I
transferred from a predominantly Caucasian school to one that was a mixture of
many different races, all except Caucasians. It was mortifying. I would raise
my hands to ask to go potty and get laughed at because of my word choice. I
would answer all of the teacher’s questions and get laughed at for being a kiss
ass. But me, being the smart kid that I was caught on quickly. Soon I started
talking back to teachers and popping girls in the head with rubber bands for
telling me to be quiet. I adapted to my surroundings quickly because I knew if
I did not, the bulling would continue. Once I got a little older, I quickly
realized that no matter how you act, you can always make friends willing to
accept you for you, and now I can say I am grateful for that experience.
Because of that drastic social change I can now relate to people both overly
suburban and slightly under educated. Being so diverse has helped me get through
life a little easier and knowing how to bring out that inner suburban girl sure
helps with finding a job.
