Hiding the Reservation

When students come to attend school at Whitney Young they get the urge to give the best impression possible. If one feels like they’re extra poor next to other people that stand at better spot economically, one tends to try to “hide their reservation.” Not showing what one really is can lead to changes to you.  Once the students in school feels more confident about themselves they begin to slowly show who the really are and what their real backgrounds are. This happens because they find a group where they fit in and are comfortable with their friendship. Once one finds their “crowd” they no longer have the need to be ashamed or “hide their reservation.”

Jr at Whitney Young

Whitney Young is a school filled with many types of ethnic groups. Everyone in the school has a different economic background within their family. Everyone has their own hangout group that they themselves fit in with because of their similarities. It is the choice of the person trying to fit in to be socializing with others. If Junior were to be a student in Whitney Young I know for sure that he would have friends.

Not everyone in Whitney Young accepts everyone in the school. There are students that accept students that aren’t accepted by other students. So if Junior were to be a student in Whitney Young there is no doubt that he would be accepted into Whitney Young just like other people are accepted in the school. Whitney Young is nothing like Rearden because Whitney Young has a history of being diverse and having people that are willing to befriend with others that are similar to them but different in many ways like in religion, ethnics, and more. Rearden made it hard for Junior to fit in because it was an all-white school and he was the only Indian student there. Whitney Young is nothing like Rearden because it has many types of people from nationalities from all around the world including Indians as well. In Rearden, Junior had a tough time trying to fit in because he was Indian and he was different from the students in Rearden. In Whitney Young, it would've been very easy for Junior to make new friends and fit into a group or groups of friends because of the students in Whitney Young’s differences.

If Junior were to attend school at Whitney Young, he wouldn’t have to hide anything about himself. In Rearden, he made it seem like it was mandatory to hide who he really was in order to be treated like others but in Whitney Young there are so many different people in the school but that yet some have the same type of problems. In the backgrounds of students in Whitney Young, they have families that are poor, average, or rich but they are all treated the same because we’re used to the diversity.
