My Goal
My Goal
I want to start a series where I can openly talk about some of my experiences with micro aggression and an overall sense of feeling lost during elementary and middle school. My hope is young readers can hopefully relate to this and we can start a conversation. I also want to make sure the younger kids have someone that they can reach out to if they are feeling lost. I know if I had an upperclassman/ one of the older kids talk to me that they understood what I went through that would have meant a lot to me. Another one of my goals is that our community comes even closer and becomes even more of a safe place.
Topics that I will be tackling in the coming months:
