For a while I always found myself getting to attached to people. And when they end up leaving I end up getting hurt. I always though I needed to rely on someone to make me happy. So I told myself every time I got sad "you make a future for yourself, no one does it for you"

Create an identity pie for yourself - related to your identity and intersectionality.  Do you think your thoughts on identity, your intersectionality, and your own cultural competency has changed over this school year?  How so?

I feel to be valued in any environment and not just school, everyone has to respect each other. When I was watching "The Last Dance" Isiah Thomas and the Pistons left the court before the game ended because the teams didn't have respect for each other, but when the Lakers faced the Suns Lebron and Devin Booker did a jersey swap because they respect each other as players and as people.

I feel that a socially just school should be created by everyone (including teachers and adult influences) talk about the importance of a safe environment (this goes for every grade level) because although racism is taught, a safe and anti- racist environment can be taught and formed as well.
The common phrase ¨treat others how you want to be treated" can go a long way.
