HI!
My name is Liz. (I am A.A.) As I walked into the school this chilly August morning I had a really bad case of the butterflies. Just to let you know I knew pretty well the consequences for if I was caught going to a WHITE school when I knew perfectly well that I was African American. I headed to the office and walked every second being terrified that someone would notice that I was African American and send me to jail or something. But I really had nothing to fear it was actually quite easy to talk to the lady at the desk. It was actually so easy that when I had reached my Homeroom I was a pro at talking with the kids I actually made a popular girl really mad when I stood up to her. I saw this one girl by herself and decided to talk to her. When I we got to history for last period I saw that the same girl was with me so I sat right beside her. When Mrs. Taylor ( our history teacher) told us that we had to do a presentation about local history I had decided that I would ask the girl that was sitting right beside me if she would like to be my partner Marlee( I finally remembered her name) she said yes and the girl that I told you about I think her name is Sally she nearly fainted and I haven't the faintest idea why. ut anyways It's late and I need to finish my homework and go to bed. I'll write tomorrow.
Yours,
Liz
