Ever since I started middle school there has never been any like me in my classes. I started the accelerated cluster and there are mostly white people and Asians. There has only ever been about one African American person in my classes. Even then, I still don't fit in. Since I am mixed, I don't fit into a box. All white people consider me to be black and all black people think I'm white. I don't fit in anywhere.
I think this sense of not belonging has made me shy and has made me keep to myself. I hope to go to college where it doesn't matter if I "act too white" or I'm too dark to be smart. I think this is why I want to go to the University of Pennsylvania. Everyone who goes there has to be super smart and everyone knows it. It doesn't matter what your skin tone is.
