What a Change
I have been going to Hunters Lane High School since my freshman year. It is mostly African-American people so thats what I was mostly used to. I started my freshman year at Vol State and it was a big culture shock. It was barely african americans which was fine but, it kind of took me back a little. I'm used to being around loudness all the time, fights arguments and etc. It wasn't like that all the time but it happened. I got to Vol state and it really shocked me. I felt a little uncomfortable at first because in half of my classes I would be the only black person. It was more mature and the people wasn't childish. Everybody was nice and all but I just had to get used to this change. It caused me problems at first because I didn't want to stand out. I could've just shook it off and not worry about this change but It was hard. I'm use to it now. Everybody is nice and I love Vol state now.

Although I can't completely relate to your situation, I am sorry that things like this make you feel like you stand out so much. When I first saw you I did not see you as the black girl; actually what first struck me about you is how beautiful you are. I am glad you're enjoying Vol State, and it is a pleasure to share a class with you!
