I find it difficult to access my thoughts about race and racism. The term “race” is generally used for a group of people that have hereditary traits which differentiate themselves from other individuals.

struggle. I’ve spent the past four and a half years trying to figure out who I am...where I come from. And even still‚ I only have half a story. Other than being adopted‚ some may label me as a pastor’s daughter. Others might say I’m just some rebellious kid. The only people who know me as all three‚ are close friends and family.

A 21st century kid is diffrent from the old days. "Children today have a lifestyle not childhood." CUROSITY. A 21st century kid‚ in my perception has high CURIOSITY level. From what kids are from the past -who too‚ are curious of what is this? and what is that?- comes an improved level today‚ where kids are eager to learn MORE than what is written or what the older people tells them.

Billy the Kid has a lot of history surrounding him. Some of it true and some left unknown. People like making his story more elaborate or more heroic than it might have been. But in reality Billy the Kid wasn’t as big of a figure as most stories make him out to be. Yes‚ he was a very good shot and had plenty of run ins with the law‚ but how people personify him range from fact to fiction leaving one to question many of the accounts made of him. Billy’s actual name growing ups wasn’t actually Billy
