Reflection

I strongly agree with Ms.Simmons, she made a touching statement. I do believe her  perspective was affected by her own experience and also believe her feelings are indicative of students across the country and even in Texas. Some people can relate to Dena Simmons's experience or experienced a different kind of situation, but shared the same indignity feeling for instance, When it was my first time attending middle school, my classmates in my social studies class were judging me just for being the quiet kid in class. In the middle of semester a new student had arrived, she seemed very friendly, in quite some time we began being friends till one day, one of my peers told her not to be friends with me because I was weird and slow. The reason I was quite in class because I was new and uncomfortable. The teacher never took the time to make the classroom a learning environment.  Every year diverse will become more and more higher and soon the number of white students will be reduc

Culture Identity

Culture Identity is who you are, ethnicity, and religion. "Each of the groups to which we belong to has distinguishable cultural patterns shared  among who identity themselves as members of particular group"(p.g.8). In some family cases their culture starts to fade through time because of different generations. I believe it is a wonderful feeling learning where you come from and who you are. My father and grandmother told me stories of when they first came to the United States from Durango, Mexico, knowing nothing, completely blind. They came here to have better opportunities in life, which they have accomplished. In my opinion it is important who you are because it defines you as a person. Culture identity can impact students by being more comfortable around their peers and with that comfortableness they can be themselves and have a high academic success in school. Once students feel that their peers have respect for one another, they will soon start participating in class
