Ms. Olsen's talk reminded me of "How It Feels To Be Colored Me" by Zora Neale Hurston. The main reason is because many people have trouble accepting her for who she is. Ms. Olsen is an incredibly nice, intelligent, and funny person. People discriminate against her and don't want to hang out with her because of her orientation, much like they did to Ms. Hurston but because of her race.
Last Topic of the Year, due by Sunday, June 7:
Perhaps its time to pick out some favorite memories of Pine Point. Let us know about three (or two, or one, or fifty) of your fond memories of your time at our school. Don't worry about choosing a favorite. Just describe a few good memories. (Feel free to do more than one post as memories come back to you.)
Remember to check the rubrics (to the right). Contributions to the forum can be brief, but must be well thought out and carefully written. No typos or grammar errors, please.
