After believing that his race is inferior for so long, Mike Pedro has finally discovered that being Filipino is not so bad after all. Ever since his friends mocked him at school for packing “Asian” food for lunch, he started feeling insecure about his ethnicity and even his own identity. Who is he, really? That is the question he asked himself every day from then on.

I always longed for my lunch period, that’s when I saw Caroline, Jodie, Max and Joel. I had been accepted in as Caroline’s freshman so I got to know that group quickly.

Guess who shot them, U.S. troops. Can you believe! Well I will start from the beginning. Started out as a normal day on campus everyone either trying to make to their class on time or just hanging out until it was time for them to go to their next class. Well in the commons there just happened to be a rally going on and it started to get a little heated well I guess you can say that a little heated is an understatement to the events that took place next.

Monroe Park Campus I went to Monroe Park at the VCU campus. I pass it everyday on my way to my home, but last Thursday I observed few things I would not realize if I did not walk there with a partner for a while and watched everything carefully.

I remember another school staff member running into our class and telling my teacher what was happening. We didn’t have a cable connection in our classroom so my teacher lined my classmates and I up to move to another classroom.
