    This gets a little complicated though because students are often not heard or asked their opinions. Feeling like their opinion doesn’t matter is very discouraging to students but the ones that dare to make themselves heard say that is very inspiring to actually get their point across. Betty Jo Jordan, executive assistance to the State Superintendent of West Virginia, said after speaking with a few middle to high school age girls, “I think sometimes we completely ignore the fact that these kids think a lot about a lot of things.

However, sitting with their backs pressed against the lockers, every one of them had a face of resolve, a will to rid our prestigious school of the new interim acting principal, Mrs. Rosemary Jahoda. I was looking at and experiencing one of the most revolutionary movements that our school has ever undertaken. It was a peaceful, sit-down protest that had the goal of improving our school community, for the sake of the students and faculty alike. This, and many other current examples of civil disobedience, are campaigns that work towards changing the current circumstances that the party is experiencing.

  • Essay On 14th Amendment Of Education

Being educated in a predominately white school has thrusted a role of independance and leadership onto me that I am grateful to have developed, even with the challenges that come along with that role. I was expected to represent African Americans and Hispanics when I was the only student of color in a class, even though that role was not for me, or anyone, to have. Although students of color in the future should not be forced to face this adversity, I believe that it is my job to take on this role in order to pave the way for those kids of the future. My ancestors have fought the entirety of their lives so that I could be where I am today and I will do the same.
