I am always known as a listener in the class since I don't talk much and try to listen and pay more attention.  In total, I completed my education in four cities and three countries, U.S, Canada, and in two different parts of Iran, speaking two different languages, Turkish and Farsi during elementary and middle school, and then in Vancouver, Canada, during high school, and now in college.  I am in America.  As a result of this matter, I gained many different experiences and experienced every single issue that I mentioned in my CQ firsthand. I had to speak Turkish when I studied in Tabriz, Iran.  Since Turkish was not my first language, I had a poor accent and I was ridiculed by my classmates, and I fell behind in my studies as a result.  After I moved to Vancouver, I noticed that there was a difference in social levels because one of my best friends named Jacob was always behind in his classes because of the poor school in the low-income area that he attended in middle school. When I arrived in America, I noticed the inequality in racial difference and skin color, particularly the behavior of some whites and native Americans towards blacks (African Americans), who viewed them as criminals. The issue caused me to think, maybe they are doing bad jobs more than natives or Asians, but now it is much better than before. Because I have thought more about the issue and I try to prevent some people from doing this behavior. Therefore, the idea of my CQ is come from here.

This interview is the story of two of my friends (Jacob and Alex), one of whom was raised in a high-income family and the other in a low-income family. As a part of the interview, I will ask each of them what they think about their schools while they are studying. Does their social level affect their educational level? How do they feel about the educational system and the environment?

I intend to hear two issues from them and focus on them.  In the first place, I'm going to ask them if they have an example of being different if they have ever wanted to be in their friend's shoes, and how they see an ideal school.
Summarize: The fact that Alex comes from a wealthy and rich family gave him some interesting ideas about education and school that were new to me. According to him, schools have many amenities that make them feel more comfortable, such as a constant supply of food and timely delivery.  Students each had their own tablet with a smart pen.  In addition, he even said we play ping pong and volleyball during our breaks. Afterwards, I asked Jacob, who came from a low-income family, these questions, and he disagreed with Alex's opinion. Jacob said our school building was so old that the walls stank of damp water and the roof leaks when it rains.  He also said that our math teacher usually taught us chemistry instead of our chemistry teacher, which I believe is disastrous.  His general opinion of the education system and his school was dissatisfying, and he said the only sports facility at our school was a basketball net that dozens of students played on. I would like to highlight one thing in summarizing their answers.  When I asked them, Would they like to go back to that time in school?  In contrast to Alex who said he liked it because it was filled with happy moments with friends, Jacob said the atmosphere of the school was like a prison where I felt imprisoned every morning until noon. Due to the importance of schools in the educational process, I believe governments should eliminate these class gaps between schools so that all students today can utilize all minimum facilities.

My critical question was examined by reading four academic articles, each addressing one of my factors, which were: ethnicity, skin color, gender, and social level.  Along with scientific data, each of these articles also included a series of experiences that the authors had mentioned, and I also interviewed two of my close friends, one of whom came from a low-income family and the other from a high-income family.  A majority of this part affected the centrality of the social level. When I asked them about their schools, they gave me their opinions which were very surprising for me.
In this part, I intend to explain an educational point that I learned from each of these topics and sources, which is to express a critical question of mine.  In an article about the social level, I realized the importance of this issue in the educational system, which showed that the social level has a direct impact on the academic level.  And being weak in terms of educational level in this society also means not having opportunities, financial security, and finally losing social identity in society.  In the gender section, I came to the conclusion that based on the reports and data collected, girls in schools do less activity and less class work than boys, and in engineering and mathematics courses, girls perform less well than boys, which is attributed to nicknames which gave them such a weak feeling.  But, as far as I'm concerned, this does not apply to everyone and it can be changed.  In the third part, we came to skin color, which started with an example of a black student who realized the sensitivity of the school officials to black people, and because of this, he was late to class every day because of suspicion of him.  Regarding ethnicity, I think this issue can be very similar to skin color since most people mistakenly identify people based on their ethnicity and skin color rather than their personality.  I found a source explaining an international student's experiences and problems.  Since we looked at all these issues from the perspective of a native and not from the perspective of a newcomer, I chose this source to complete the answer.
In the end, I learned a great lesson along with the answers to my questions, which I think will help me a lot in America.  After reading about the experience of the 15-year-old African-American boy, I was deeply affected by the officer's behavior, which was suspicious of black people and caused the boy to enter the classroom with great stress and constantly late.  It is appropriate to say here that according to what I heard before entering America, I always had a guard towards black people, but today, as I write this essay, I try to be much kinder to them than before to make them feel more comfortable in the classroom or outside, and change my behavior towards them because it was a wrong feeling that was imposed on me through the media.
