Assignment 22- Luke Taylor

I'm weird. I know that without a doubt. Where ever I've went to school I have stood out. Finding people like me at school has always been difficult because in most of my classes I'm the only African American. In elementary school I went to LCA where there was a grand total of two African Americans in the entire school. Then in middle school, I was separated from most of the school because I was in the accelerated cluster program, and once again there was only two of us. I used to feel insecure about the fact that there are no people like me in my classes, but now I've accepted it and embraced it. I prefer it now to have people with different cultural backgrounds around me because I get to experience different types of cultures on the daily. It's easier now for me to open myself up to and converse with people who are nothing like me.
