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.

Caroline's Post

Although I was not there to see her talk, Ms. Olsen’s life story reminds me of Zora Neale Hursten’s story “How it Feels to be Colored Me.” Growing up, she was always just a little bit different. For Ms. Hursten, it was her skin, but both topics are about racists. When she finally moved, or in Ms. Olsen’s case, when to high school, she was treated differently. They both didn’t seem to understand why, but they knew that they were not like other kids. They were both called names and treated differently. To me, the two stories are very similar.
