Rebel (on Wattpad) http://my.w.tt/UiNb/io6MRXHKFF Ever wonder what it's like to own wings? Not fun, lemme tell ya. My world is filled with things you couldn't even begin to imagine of unfathomable horror. Sadly, no one dares to think otherwise. But you, yes, YOU kind reader, do you dare to think otherwise? Do you dare be..... A REBEL?
Read it maybe please...? Share if you want, just donāt claim as your own work. Hope you enjoy it!!! :DDDDDDD
As a student of color in STEM, that scene perfectly describes what I think about everyday. Hereās a quick list of everything that I am doing:
I have a 3.71 GPA
I volunteer 10+ hours every week
I am a part-time researcher on campus (at some point Iāll make a post about my research)
I am helping to develop a CubeSat as a part of an team of undergraduate students
and I am developing my own educational outreach student organization to bring more students of color into STEM
and you know what?
I probably still wonāt get as far as rich, white students who havenāt worked nearly as hard as I have. I grew up just above the poverty line, so I donāt have the connections that those students have, it sets me apart, and it sets me behind.
The students who have those connections were able to get internships and research positions in high school, without even trying. Meanwhile, I got my first research position half of the way through my second year of college because I worked my ass off during my first year and the first half of this school year. My story is in no way unique. This is the experience of thousands of students of color around the country. We have to work so hard to get half as far as our white counterparts, and itās just bullshit.
My drawing made entirely of lines and only using black pens.
Books
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate books? They are a true escape from the burdens of everyday life. Just think about how much time and thought your favorite authors put into their stories. Years of preparing, dreaming, working, and creating have gone into these masterpieces. Authorās go through so much to share these stories with you, and to help you fathom existences far from the ordinary. How amazing it is to delve into a whole new world, purely made for your own enjoyment.
