Being a "girl" in this world is hard enough but being a black is even harder. There are so many stigmas and stereotypes of black females, which makes it hard to be who you are. If you are too loud that makes you ghetto, if your hair is too natural you are unprofessional, etc. Having to overcome the stereotypes of being a  African American female has made me stronger as a person and to never change who I am for someone else.

As the years has gone by I started to realize that my family is no longer consider upper middle class. The cost of living is cheaper in Hanover but you make less money at work. At this point in my family life we would be consider lower middle class.

I grew up in Baltimore country, where my family was consider middle class. I had the privilege of moving to Hanover PA for a better education. A lot of members in my family are consider low class and I always felt that certain members of my family looked at us differently because of what we had.
