The kids
is this town are really different from
where I used to live. They have much more
money and newer cars. They also spend a
lot of time badmouthing their parents. How
they don't give them enough money and how
they think it's cheap that their parents
make them fill up the car with gas. I
don't like to hear that. My parents have
worked really hard to get me and my
sisters and my brother a nice place to
live and good food to eat. It seems wrong
to talk badly about people who love you.
Maybe that's the way white kids are. Also,
some of the guys... when they see me they
act like they think I'm going to jump 'em
or something. I'm not looking for no
trouble. I had enough of that in my old
school. But if they want to start
something with me... they'll wish they
hadn't. Some of the girls are friendly.
They are skinny but cute. Some wear too
much make-up and dress like they
are hookers. I'm sure they are not, but
still... my sister says that a woman who
has self-respect is very beautiful to a
man. I'm not saying there's no good people
at this school... there might be... I just
haven't met anyone that I can hang out
with. But I am patient. I can wait and
find out who the real
compadres are.
The
teacher wants us to write down our
impressari... I don't know
the word.. but it means like, how we see
these other kids in our group.
Chaz
- He's got some fast moves on his
skateboard. That's something I'd like to
try. I started to talk to him once, you
know, just say "hi" but he just walked
away.
Dee
- She is one of the girls who wears a lot
of make up. She has nice teeth and is very
friendly to everyone. People seem to like
her.
Becca
- This is a very intelligent girl who
seems so serious... it's like inside she
is an old woman. She is always carrying
books and using big words. She has friends
who know a lot about computers.
