First Blog Ever!- Miss America

Well this is my first blog entry and I’m not too sure where I should begin. I related heavily to “I was once Miss America” in the authors feeling of being different than all the kids at one’s school. I am a minority like she was and attended a predominantly white school in Boca Raton. I stuck out and always had the feeling of being looked at in the back of my head. This didn’t really impact me as heavily though in the way it affected pascal. I got over this feeling of being different at a young age and I didn’t allow me being a black male make me feel uncomfortable. Even though there was only 3 black kids in my elementary school that didn’t make me feel like an outlier I was just another kid. Developing this type of thinking allowed me to never allow my race to make me feel the way it made pascal feel. I grew up with “Elizabeth’s and Jessica’s” all my life, or at least girls and guys who tried to be perfect and realized that Miss America type person doesn’t exist and you only see them in movies and dreams. So there’s no reason in trying to be like Barbie and Kent you should rather embrace your differences and find out who you are.
