I never thought I would make it this far. Going into high school I remember thinking to myself that this would it be it, post secondary was never in the picture. December 2011, the consequences of a car accident had changed my perspective of everything around me, it was not until soon after that I’ve recognized the value of education. Despite so, the symptoms of a brain injury had held me back, as my emotions also stood in the way. Every day I had thought of giving up, I had failed at doing the simplest tasks. Struggling to adapt to new habits and taking on different approaches, the hardest part was managing chronic headaches. Later I realized how much I took for granted in the past and was determined to prove myself wrong; I will succeed.

My heart was beating and my hands were sweating. My teacher asked me a question and I wanted to cry. I didn’t know how to say my response in English and was afraid of the other kids making fun of me because I thought my accent was too strong. All the students stared. “Just answer the question” one girl murmured. Every day I’d sit in the same seat without talking. And even though I had spent a month in the same classroom I felt uncomfortable being there. I moved to the United States from the Dominican Republic when I was twelve. I knew the word for “mariposa” was “butterfly,” and I knew how to introduce myself, but that was about all. Some people would even become frustrated due to the fact they couldn’t understand me, or the other way around. Knowing how they felt about me not being able to communicate made me want to shut myself off from them.

A significant risk that I took was wearing a shirt to school that read : BLACK LIVES MATTER to school on my 17th birthday.The shirt was a gift from a friend who knew that I was deeply interested in the movement; and wanted to share awareness of the movement. I would talk about the movement in class making people aware of what was not being covered by the news. Informing how biased the media is towards people of color; especially black people. Going to a school in the suburbs was an adjustment to someone who has spent majority of their school career in urban areas. I felt as if the idea of wearing a shirt to express my concern towards issues in my community would be accepted. That was the idea.
