that I realized that I might be different. I was sitting on the bus going home from school. I was looking out the window and pondering life to the extent that an 11 year old can but I remember that I began thinking about my fifth grade teacher. I remember thinking about how lovely and kind of woman she was. Over the course of the year, I would often think of her and get excited when she would talk to me.

Thus, I was involuntarily ascribed the status of daughter and younger sister. From this moment on, my parents used my gender and race to act accordingly in making the decisions of how I should be raised, how I should be dressed, and most importantly, the type of education I was to receive from social institutions, starting with family and academic institutions.
