When I was reading the article Up Front, there was a main passage about minorities, it really got me thinking and interested in the topic. In the passage there was this one girl named Jessica. She went to a school which was for the most part Hispanic and she quoted her self saying " I felt normal". Soon after Jessica said this she found herself having to be moved to another state. When she entered her new school she felt not included and almost out of the picture. This proving that it could be tough moving to another school and also mixing with other races.

     In my school i feel like everyone is included and that it does not matter what race you are, either way you are accepted. I think being a minority would feel completely awful because you would have no friends and would have to struggle through the same routine every single day. I think that if I was in this situation i would want to go back to my home where i would have friends and loved ones. But overall all of the races are equal and know one should ever have the horrible feeling of being a minority.

     I think that in this article they make a very good point out to children that they should always welcome in new kids and never think of someone as a minority or smaller than you because that could make someone so hurt. And to be honest racism should not be happening every one should be working and collaborating to make a better society. So i thought this article had a really nice meaning and can send a very good message out to everyone.
