Story "Wind-Wolf"

I think that this story is about culture and power. In this story, one realizes that a person from a different culture or background has to adapt to the culture of power. If he does not do it, the chances to succeed in the the culture of power would be low. The main character did not know that the way of writing and communicating are very important in our society.
This story relates to our class discussions, because we have been learning about the privileges that some groups have over others; and how those privileges affect us. As a person who comes from a different country, I also have had to adapt to the culture of power. It is not easy, but necessary. I believe that we as future teachers will see how students from other cultures struggle to form part of the American society.

Demographics, Post #2

I have to say that I had a great first experience when going to the school. I did not get a trainning at this school, and that was something that I was expecting to have before being a tutor. Anyways, after spending a few minutes with the fourth graders and the math teacher, everything became fun. The children were taking tests and I was assigned to help a couple of students to read questions. I also had encouraged them to answer most of the questions. It was funny because they asked me "is this the correct answer?". I had to tell them that I was there, only to help them understand the question, not to solve it. It would not have been fair to say "yes", even though I wanted to say so.
I was having such a good time that I lost track of time, and ended up being there for three hours. The teacher had told that I could stay all the time I wanted to, so there was no problem with that.
Let's talk about the school demographics. There are 50,5% females and 49.5% males. There are 5.5% Asians, 27.3% Blacks, 35.4% Hispanics, 0.8% Native Americans, and 31.0% Whites. Interestingly, the class I attended seemed to have mostly Blacks, and some Hispanics. The school has an enrrollment of 509 students.

Interestingly, I have only seen about three or four white students in my classes; they seem to be very friendly. Those four white students always say hello when seeing me and do all their work in class. During my visits to the school “MYHM”, I have only seen a child who seems Asian; he is bright and work hard, but I do not relate that to Asian stereotypes.

 I am a person who likes sports, traveling, dance, and learning new things.
This semester I am taking four courses and they are going well so far. I am exited to start the service learning project at a public school. I am also taking two literature courses and one Spanish writting course. I like those type of courses, although there is alot of reading for each class.
