In the short story, High School's Secret Life, by Emily White, was a good story that I feel students can connect to. I can relate to this story because after going through high school I know finding a seat at lunch can be hard. In the story Emily stated while looking for her to friends, "sitting on the sidelines now, I can still feel the adolescent loneliness in my guts." Feeling the emotions go through you, I can seriously say nobody like that feeling. High school is suppose to be a good time in your life, growing up getting a little bit more responsibilities. For example, getting your licensee is one of the biggest moments in high school.
This story was able to bring out the side that a lot of people have gone through. It was amazing to see how her cafeteria was the same as mine. Most of the kids sat with people of the same background, and never really tried to branch out. In conclusion, it was nice to be able to connect to a story like that, which brought back so many memories.
Good work finding your own personal connections to the reading. What specifically did you identify with?
