Rebecca at EBAFF, Bronx, NY - STEREOTYPES By:Patricia

I am

an 8th Grader in Mr. Allison's New Journalism class at East Bronx Academy for the Future

My name is Rebecca. I am smart and very sensitive. I write about things that inspire me and things I love!I love school and have good grades. I also love animals and I love to draw them too. I have many pets and want to be a vet when I grow up. Those are some things about me.
School is fun to me. I love math and science the most. I have to love it because I want to be a vet. I have fun with my friends. After school I work in the library. I get to work with my best friend in the library. It's fun and sometimes we get to hang out in there because we finished all our work. That's why I love school. For me, it is fun to see the look o my parents face when they see my grades.
When I'm not in school I mostly stay home. Sometimes me and my mom would go out shopping, to eat something, or to just hang out. Twice a month we would go out and hang out with my aunts, uncles, and cousins. We would have so much fun and we would play around. At home I would play video games or make blankets. I would also paint or draw animals. That's what I do when I'm not in school.

STEREOTYPES By:Patricia

I found a poem in Space, Issue #2 by Patricia.

I liked “STEREOTYPES,” because it shows the truth about how we are seperated into different groups.
One sentence that stands out for me is: “Why should we be put into categories” I think this is good because it makes me think. It makes me wonder why are we put into different groups.
Another part that I liked was: “But how do you know where you go? You dont its them that decide for you” This stood out for me because it’s true. You don’t really know where you fit in and where you should go. Then it makes me wonder who chooses where you go.
I do agree with Patricia that people in schools are seperated in different groups and there are some people that pick where you go. That happens in my school a lot and the popular kids pick where you go. But I don’t agree with her that we can’t change where we are put. I think that if you try to pick were you go you can pick where you are placed in.

I look forward to seeing what Patricia makes next, because her poem relatied to what happens in school. It shows a little on how school works and shows her feelings about school.
