Spectacular Things Happen Along The Way

Unfortunately, these children cannot complete their education because they have to travel with their family and learn to manage at a young age a life of hard labor. This however does not diminish their dreams of completing high school and some day attending a university so that they will not have to live the life of struggle their parents did to sustain the household. In cities like Detroit, MI there is a large population of low income Hispanic and African American families. The public school system unfortunately cannot potentially promote a high-quality education. The majority of these students do not receive an entrance level education simply because of living standards. Income plays an important role in education opportunities regarding the quality education each student can pertain. Since the minorities in that area are low-income they cannot afford to attend a private high school that can better prepare them for college. According to a research done at the University of Texas-Pan American, “certain racial or ethnicity factors should play a role in the admissions decision.” (Marklein)

African American students account for the larger majority of minorities in public schools in the United States. Most areas in the northern part of the United states and coastal areas are ethnically diverse. However, down south this is not the case. Students of color will experience a harder time in the education system. African American students meet the obstacle of educators who will not want them to succeed based on a preconceived thought. In fact, Caucasian teachers make up for 85% of all

Myrtle Beach High School is 1 of 11 schools in Horry 01. They are ranked number 23 in the state of South Carolina. There is a total enrollment of about 1,203 students, of that, there is a total minority enrollment of about 40% and about 57% are economically disadvantaged. Of the economically disadvantaged 54% receive the free lunch program and 3% receive the reduced-price lunch program. They are a title 1 school, so they have funding to help the at risk/low-income students that are at the school. Myrtle Beach High School is considered a pretty diverse school of 60% identifying as White, 22% as Black, 12% as Hispanic, 5% as two or more races, 1% as Asian, 0.2% as American Indian/Alaskan Native, and 0.2% as Hawaiian Native/Pacific Islander.

After conducting the interviews and analyzing the data I have to come to the conclusion that it takes every stakeholder, parents, teachers, and administrators, to be involved for African American students to be successful. We can no longer point the blame at one party. Teachers can not blame parents and parents can not blame teachers, we all have to work together. There has to be an open line of communication between home and school. We have to all remember it is about the student, the child, and we have to do whatever is necessary to ensure they are successful.

There is a strong African American cultural presence in this school district one student in particular told me that his uncle and cousin also live with him in their home, which is an asset contributed to African Americans from the days of slavery. Most families were ripped apart during those times and tended to create close familial bonds with friends, cousins, and others that technically were not related, which is a custom from Africa.

Knowing this, they made sure that almost all of the children they showed were in minority groups. This helps persuade the audience because minority groups are part of stereotypes that people see them as usually not as educated as a white child. It sounds bad, but it is true, and the directors used this appeal to their advantage. There was only one child out of all the children interviewed that was white, in a good home, and already getting an education. Every time a different race was interviewed they always were in poor conditions. We know that there are children that are raised well even if they are not white, but by showing a child longing for an education that is part of a minority where it is less likely for that to happen makes the audience want that child to get an

The author points out that inner city gang warfare, prison riots and provocative behavior against authority or danger is a sign on uncommunicated suicidal tendencies. Dr. Elizabeth Ford, who was for many years at Bellevue Hospital which treats and houses some of Rikers Island jailed prisoners who are or have become mentally ill, relates a suicide in her 2017 book "Sometimes Amazing Things Happen”. The patient (named Franklin) had been going to the group therapy sessions, taking his medication, and interacting with other patients by playing board games and ping pong. Franklin was being checked on every 15 minutes, but figured out the lapse, tied a sheet around the bars and his neck and dropped by his neck.

It’s all start when my sister and I went to Watson. While I’m doing window shopping, my sister went to buy some stuff. Accidently, in a glance, I saw my sister at the health section. In consciously, I went to her with full of questions, and asked her ‘are you sick?’ Then she turned back to me and answered my question with a question, ‘is this good?’
