Jr at Whitney Young

When junior goes to Reardan he immediately is looked at as an outcast. Junior is the only Indian kid in this all white school and in an attempt to fit in he punches a classmate. Junior does this thinking of the rez and how Indians behave to be accepted. In Reardan though, the culture is different and Junior isn't socially accepted at first. Junior is different from his classmates, economically and what he is used to socially. Whitney Young is not like Reardan, it is very diverse where people come from different social statuses, economic statuses, ethnic backgrounds, and we all have different interests. At Whitney Young junior wouldn't be judged like he was at Reardan. Junior would fit in because he would find people that share similar interests. He wouldn't have to hide anything in fear of being judged. At Reardan he had to because everyone was the same and to be accepted he had to pretend to be something he wasn't  At Whitney Young there is wide variety of clubs and classes offered. This is how Junior would start to find people with similar interests and mindsets. Since he is into drawing cartoons he might join a drawing or writing club, he might spend his time creating art projects in the bridge and blue house, or he might even try out for the basketball team. When walking into the school he wouldn't be an outcast due to the diversity of the school and slowly he would gradually become friends with a certain group of people. For lunch, he might not be able to afford to go off campus and buy food but it would be nothing to be ashamed of. He would have free lunch and just enjoy time with his friends. At Whitney Young Junior would have an easier time finding someone to talk to, and not feel alienated or isolated due to the diversity in interests. Junior would be more comfortable in attending Whitney Young than how his experiences were at Reardan.
