I really enjoyed going to school there at the time because it was very competitive and pushed me to my limits academically.

It was enacted in someways. I was my only playmate when I was really young and I would use my imagination and make up crazy scenarios. I had the freedom to express myself, but if I ever did understand something my parents were quick to jump in and help me. ]]> 2020-09-17 16:15:45 UTC https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/755933278 melaniegarrison22 https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/760324584 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GneJ5svbU25L3JxNLN-cyJqPOlznf7Gt/view?usp=sharing]]> 2020-09-18 20:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/760324584 melaniegarrison22 https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/776427245 I went to an majority white school growing up and I knew that there were problems of racism in the world but I never was a witness to it until I got to high school. I was always shocked by the things that I took for granted and assumed everyone had the privilege of. For instance, knowing that because of my race I would not be stereotyped in the classroom as the troublemaker. It was always unsettling to me but I never knew how to speak up for my peers. ]]> 2020-09-24 16:03:26 UTC https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/776427245 melaniegarrison22 https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/777816561 I was definitely able to use my agency growing up. My school was over 90% white students and we were given a lot of freedoms in our intellectual growth but not our social growth. There was a heavy influence on discipline and if you were labeled as the "bad kid" then you were the social outcast in school. This just forced us all the become better students than children. I feel like as a whole my class matured faster. ]]> 2020-09-24 23:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/777816561 melaniegarrison22 https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/786600759 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BT2doY4KFn--oHNhIGd3mLkTldF9cOGv/view?usp=sharing]]> 2020-09-29 03:38:42 UTC https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/786600759 melaniegarrison22 https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/795246893 When I was younger I was really into Hot Wheels and Barbie and my parents let me play with both. I was also in a preschool class with four girls and 11 boys so I was exposed to cross gender play from a young age. The way that I was raised I never really thought about gender in everyday and not until I hit puberty did I realize that because I am a girl I am treated differently by male authority figures and peers. ]]> 2020-10-01 16:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/795246893 melaniegarrison22 https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/800143895 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oHewRwEim3A_onbohpxVoboxDHXL6dj-/view?usp=sharing]]> 2020-10-03 22:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/800143895 melaniegarrison22 https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/812024444 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1p1PX51maA1VDyrz-CKdV397Mu6CPIGoj/view?usp=drivesdk]]> 2020-10-07 22:33:22 UTC https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/812024444 melaniegarrison22 https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/814385994 In elementary school I was able to take "Spanish" classes starting in third grade. For our school, 3rd-6th grade had the same Spanish teacher so there was a definite strain on resources as far as languages other than English. Our Spanish teacher had to balance teaching kids across grade levels and at different skill levels in the language. We only had Spanish once or twice a week for around 30 minutes so our exposure to the language was not as extensive as it could have been. I have taken Spanish classes from third grade to 11th grade but I feel like I am far from proficient in the language. I would like to get better and be able to hold coherent conversations in Spanish one day. ]]> 2020-10-08 16:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/814385994 melaniegarrison22 https://padlet.com/melaniegarrison22/srx8iblgzdty1lgj/wish/832867550 Growing up in school, I was never exposed to people with disabilities and the people that I knew that had a learning disability or something like that were not fully accepted and for a while everyone at my school claimed dyslexia and ADHD to be fake and the students with these learning disorders were often told they were faking it.
