Flashback....avg
They were calavgg my name laughing...what have i done to deserve this..this is the color i was born with ..this is me...
I stood there looking stupid trying to avoid their stares and laughs some even looked at me with pity..and disgust ..they hated me just because of the color of my skin..my own.
Looking back now at 23 I felt pity and sadness for that little 16 year old girl ..because she used to be me. My name is Ebony Heaven Samuels, I was born on April 6,1984 . Ever since my birth,i was given trouble. My parents dumped me after I was one because i was "the darkest" out of all the children. Im also pretty skinny(like a model) but of course I dont get any slack . You see all my life I have been treated with cruelty just because of my skin pigment.I wonder how something so little could have such a big effect on how people treat you.
Flashback of highschool
I walked through the entrance of my new school,high school to be exact as a freshmen...Glennview Highschool ,an innercity school in Atlanta ..time for a new beginning i said inside my head ...i make my way through the halls and get my schedule and locker combination from the counseling office ....great i say two ap classes and two honors classes !!! This is gonna be awesome..plus i see my friend Shara by one of the lockers, I immediately jump on her and give her a hug..." Tight much" she says "Sorry" I say looking embarrassed apparently people had seen the scene..."Dang im already ruining my reputation" I said in my head. You see me and Shara were complete opposites in appearance ,even though we had been friends since 7th grade. Even though we were both nigerian,she was lightskinned with and i was dark skinned even though our hair was about the same length. After our little incident i was feeling pretty great ..." This is going to be a good day
I finally decided to make something out of my life people love to put me down and call me names this time i will actually prove them wrong.
