Hello everybody,
My name is Drew Ickes. I'm eighteen, and the first in my family to attend college. Last year I graduated Lower Merion Highschool you might have heard of it because Kobe Bryant went there. I don't play sports as much as I used to, but am still a big basketball and football fan. The first semester of school made me learn alot, mostly how to balance school with fun. But also alot about myself.
After reading June Jordan's "Nobody mean more to me than you and the future life" I had alot to think about. At first I agreed with June on how social change is impossible if everybody acts the same and has the same opinions. This relates strongly to politics and sociology or in other words following a shepherd like sheep. But then later in the texts she says "White standards control our official and popular judgements of verbal proficiency and correct, or incorrect language skills, including speech" I disagree, in fact I believe minorities play a huge part in the media. As well having played an enormous part in modern language ex specially in the last 30 years.
