As quickly as 2013 rolled in, Kania made a name for herself, by pushing for the chance to take two advanced math classes at the same time. Although this may seem like an easy feat, it is an abnormality at Forest Hills High School.

Two of the women interviewed specifically spoke about their mother’s influence on them through tribal leadership and nonconformism (Lajimodiere 14).

They say he preaches of a world not made by hands, while in the streets about him mean suffer and struggle and die”(Paton 124).

All the while breaking down perceptions of my own I entered the course with. I had always thought of camouflage as something worn by either the military or those that hunted.
