Whitebead school is where I attended elementary and middle school. Whitebead is a small K-8th country school in Pauls Valley, OK. This place is where I found myself. I was the minority at this school. I come from a very diverse home. My Dad is from India and my Mom is from Mexico. I was bullied for the way I looked, dressed, and talked. If I ever spoke Spanish to any of the other hispanic students or ELC teachers my peers would always tell me to go back to Mexico if I wanted to speak Spanish because this is America and apparently we only speak English here. I used to get made fun of for having a unibrow and being brown. I wish I was making this up but I had to learn at a very young age to find who I was and stick up for myself. I realized that this was a great place for me and where I grew so much personally. This building shaped me into the person I am today and I couldn’t imagine growing up any differently.
