Feeling that she needed to socialise, Cady’s parents enrolled her to North Shore High school. On her first day of North Shore High school, Cady was often left out and she was unfamiliarised with the school’s surroundings and people. On the second day, Cady had become friends with two social outcasts, Janis Ian and Damian. Janis and Damian had misled Cady into thinking that they were taking to G14 for her Health Education class but instead, they brought her to the back of the school where they skipped class. This is where Janis had stated that they were friends and Cady stayed with them.
63), it states she watched “Three’s Company” in an attempt to learn English. When she was 13, she had to take public transportation to and from school for the first time instead of being driven to her destinations by a chauffeur. The school system was even different as she states “Unlike students in Korea schools, who were taught to bow to teachers at every turn…..” (pg 62) in Queens they barely made eye contact. She also had to learn to do her school work by herself as well has regular house hold chores such as washing clothes.

I remember walking up to the bulletin board after that first day with my hands shaking. After I ran my shaky finger down the list and saw my name was still there I breathed a sigh of relief, and ran to the car to tell my mom. The second day of tryouts was more intense, but I made it through. Finally, on the last day of tryouts and those of us left were split into teams for a scrimmage. This was the day I was most afraid of because it meant I had to hit against a pitcher who was my age and after watching her warm up I could read that she was not completely in control of her pitches.

My mother was 7 when my grandmother died delivering her last son; the hospital was almost 4 hours away and the transportation was only available from Thursday to Sunday, so having contractions on a Tuesday wasn’t a good thing. My mother has eye vision impairment since she was little, but her professors never believe
Both Baby and Anne are very smart, but Baby isn’t recognized for it. Instead she is put into a practical learning class. “I didn’t bother explaining that I’d been on the honor roll at my last school. That I had to go to a program for kids who had learning disabilities made me sad beyond words.” (Page 202, O’Neil) Baby deserved more, considering she was on the honor roll. But because she had to go to a detention centre, the social worker basically forced her into going to this class.
I am so very excited to see them excel in school. My little Evie is three and all she talks about is school, how she cannot wait to go and truthfully I can’t wait for her to go either. You see, once my girls are in school I will be able to go back to work and have adult conversations on a regular basis again. My days of changing dirty diapers, potty training, and watching cartoons all day will be behind me. Then I read the part of Welty’s story where Phoenix has to cross the creek and she said “Now comes the trial”.

GUN CONTROL & GUN VIOLENCE School was extremely dull that day but, I managed to endure through the six hours of mercilessness, with the thought and anticipation of going home to my father fueled me. The day finally came to a close. When the bus dropped me off I went trudging along, happily ignoring the police and yellow tape around the house; until I was stopped by my neighbor. She said these exact words, “Your father is not at home. Go to your babysitter.” Her words were succinct and verbatim I told her she was wrong that and my mother told me to come home.
It was more of a gradual process over time. I was just a typical teenage girl at the beginning of 8th grade. I remember getting mad when teachers assigned weekend homework, thinking I was cool because I was finally allowed to walk around the mall with my friends, and I loved having sleepovers.
