It was a cultural shock for me since all my life. I've been on the west and south side of Chicago and all I knew was black and white and a little bit of Mexican so coming up here really opened my eyes to a lot of cultures. A lot of people are of shades and Taught me about how other cultures and people are in a way and one thing I can say for certain is that this school has taught me or shown me how life will be once I step outside of school
