The story I've chosen is Trevor Noah's Chameleon because of his situation and how i put myself into it. I found it quite interesting since this young man was a mix of both white and black, but most of his family had never seen a white child before in their life. When i looked up how his skin tone was like, it gave me a sudden chill when I saw that his color was the same as my own. It gave me chills at first yet it also brought up a couple of unthinkable questions in my head. "what would happen if I was born in Africa with my skin color?" "would i be stay myself and be an outcast like i was in middle and high school?" "Would I be considered a freak show?"

this caught my interest since this gives more character to Trevor's story. He was born within a black home and looked white to his whole family. What I'm learning now is that back then, if you did have a baby that was from two ethnicity's you would die. This was after this from knowledge given to me

Within part 5/3 (ill be referencing them as such) I can completely agree with teachers monopolizing on questions they have. Not only that, I've seen it happen multiple times before within my past experience in my high school years. If i'm going on too much please tell me, if not then i should be fine. It was early December and my math teacher was going over a few things. A good friend of mine, Janathean, asked several questions about a few things about the subject. True some of these things where a tad bit foolish in my eyes, yet he made other questions that actually made me think, 'could we do it like that?' That was the only one that struck out to me at the moment. Yet, i feel its going to be very important when we talk about this read more.
