He grew up in an area and time where he had to know more than one language in order to survive. I moved to the U.S. from Tashkent, Uzbekistan, so I grew up knowing Russian and English. Russian was spoken at home, while English was spoken at school and with my friends and with strangers. ]]> 2018-05-02 16:39:14 UTC https://padlet.com/s411299/csf7fs2b1l3b/wish/257342915 s411299 https://padlet.com/s411299/csf7fs2b1l3b/wish/257345081 In 8th grade Trevor Noah went to Sandringham High School. Most of the kids who went there were rich white kids so he didn't really fit in. He didn't have much money and wanted to make more so he would get money from the rich fat white kids and he would run to the food trucks for them and get them their food. I can relate to this because my Dad has given me money to go get our family food before.

At least he had one brother to have around when he was stuck alone, I had to stay home alone all of the time as a child and for some reason that led me to be good with other kids my age. ]]> 2018-05-02 16:51:50 UTC https://padlet.com/s411299/csf7fs2b1l3b/wish/257348632 s411299 https://padlet.com/s411299/csf7fs2b1l3b/wish/257353355 Growing up, Trevor was really bad at talking to girls. He said he would always hang around long enough to be the friendly good guy when the girl would go date other dudes. We call this the "friendzone" and its an awful place to be in. I've learned you gotta shoot your shot early so you don't end up in it.]]> 2018-05-02 17:01:36 UTC https://padlet.com/s411299/csf7fs2b1l3b/wish/257353355 s411299 https://padlet.com/s411299/csf7fs2b1l3b/wish/257356094 I am a mixed child, of White/Russian and Asian/Uzbek, while Trevor is mixed of White/Swiss and Black/Xhosa. Growing up, people always thought I was something that I wasn't like Hispanic or Egyptian. So I am able to relate to him on that level.]]> 2018-05-02 17:07:10 UTC https://padlet.com/s411299/csf7fs2b1l3b/wish/257356094 s411299 https://padlet.com/s411299/csf7fs2b1l3b/wish/257359262 When Trevor moved to  Eden Park, his mother brought home 2 black cats from her work.

I can relate to this because when I was growing up, my family would always make me go to church and say a prayer every night before I go to bed. Now, my family rarely goes to church or does anything religious.]]> 2018-05-04 16:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/s411299/csf7fs2b1l3b/wish/258096598 s411299 https://padlet.com/s411299/csf7fs2b1l3b/wish/258097943 I can't relate to Trevor when it comes to him as a young child. He describes himself as mischievous, but my friend's parents always saw me as an "angel" growing up. I was very well behaved and caring as a child. I don't understand why kids are like that growing up.

We have a very "Us against the world" mentality, just like Trevor said in the book. No matter what, my mom and I have each other's backs before anyone else.]]> 2018-05-04 17:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/s411299/csf7fs2b1l3b/wish/258102274
