My sight had been attracted by an interesting story from Internet. It was said that when a group of women got on the car, every seat was already occupied. The conductor noticed a man seemed to be asleep, and fearing he might miss his stop, he nudged him and said:
“Wake up, sir!” “I was not asleep.” the man answered. “Not asleep? But you had your eyes closed. ” “I know. I just hate to look at ladies standing up beside me in a crowded car. ”
" . . . just like a sturdy building that can never be wobbled or shaken through crisis situations, thus leading us into a freedom . . . "
"Imagine if you could sustain the fear of failure and cover it up with confidence, how much would your life change".
- I feel that this is missing something but it's close to getting somewhere if you know what I mean..... or
"The hardest part of failing is admitting to the people you love and care about. Its a sequence of getting rid of your trickling fears of telling the truth".

Ultimately, we are able to see that racism is clearly still alive and unfortunately thriving around us and, with the help of Douglas and X, it informs us of the social slavery that racism truly is.
Sadly, I have to agree with the author about the linguistic identity she is talking about in the U.S. I can see how “the dominant culture”(Anzaldua 38) introduces its own culture with all the language differences in schools, too. I can feel the author’s pain and experience of it at NSCC because of my encounters and chats with Latino people at the campus that unwillingly wanted to speak with me in their native tongue. I mean the Spanish language. I can understand what she means when she talks about “losing your identity”(Anzaldua 39) by not using your language at school, at home, and consequently at all. If you cannot identify yourself with your culture by using your tongue speaking your native language at school and not only,

you are losing your culture identity little by little adopting the “white dominant culture” (38) of the “Americano.” Hopefully this fact will not be transmitted to the other diverse cultures at school and make the beauty of diverse culture in U.S. to be lost by adopting only the American language and culture style. As the author said, “I am my language” when not able to use your language, you are losing your cultural identity, your connection with your origin and also yourself as person that belongs to that culture." the most important thing in education is to learn more, to gain knowledge, not just get good scores
In those first four days of class, I thought I was watching a tennis match. The teacher was the ball and the blackboard was the court.
Like cooking ingredients in a soup, where homogeneous ingredients are mixed to create a heterogeneous mixture, various cultures in America are mixed together to create a new flavor where each ingredient influences and compliments the other.
Students are pieces of blank paper and teachers are the marker, students’ success or failure depends on what teachers write on them.
Nothing has changed from Douglass time to X to ours. It is just that the distractions and problems have become more complicated and are not only about slavery and racism because still we are slave of our desires and personal limitations. So it’s just about our determination whether we want to get out of our situation or let it be the way it is. For change is like the water in the pot and we are the thirsty crow as in the story, we have to gather all our pebbles of knowledge and be determined to put it in the pot again and again until we reach the desired change to quench our thirst.
These stories can be very encouraging examples. Someone can say "no pains, no gains", but how many of us can boast of similar achievements. We use to learn how to read one d ay but we don't try to dive deep to find a treasures. Many of us just are going with the stream

Word of mouth is powerful and the effects can elevate a business or College to the top of the food-chain, or slam it to the ground with the ferocity of an MMA fighter.
Wrinkles and freckles on their faces acted as a storybook. I read a story, a life story, just by reading their faces. I learnt that life is short, and that we should really treasure and grasp every moment with our loved ones.
Students’ lives must be the primary concern for the school. If the students cannot survive from a dangerous school, the stunning buildings, high-technology facilities, or excellent teachers are meaningless. Moreover, when a school starts having a bad reputation about

danger, nobody wants to go to the unsafe school!. The students trust school that is the safe place to come. Why could the school administrators ignore this simple issue?

I followed the dogma of AP English classes taught in the South: I wrote like the dull authors I was forced to read (Seriously, what 15 year old wants to read Cry, The Beloved
Country ), focused on grammar and mechanics, and never deviated. Not surprisingly, this bored the hell out of me. This also made the thought of taking English 101 less preferable than elective brain-surgery.
