Wu

When I was a freshman in High School I felt very out of place. I had had a relativly sheltered school life, with 8 years in a small Catholic school. When it came time to go to High School I choose to go to the public school because it offered soccer as a varsity sport. In one particular class (graphic arts it think) I was in the minority. Most people in the class were black. They defined me as soccer karati dude. Soccer because I wore my jersey to school on game days, Karati - I have no idea why, and Dude because I was different then they were. I have never felt so misrepresented since.
