Sophomore Gharron Sheffield
“I am Afro-Latino. I am El Salvadorian and Black. It feels weird here because everybody does not have the same skin tone as you and I come from South Oak Cliff where there were only a few white people. Coming from an inner-city people to coming to a high school where I am one of the few. I definitely have to change the way I act or what I say or how I behave because I don’t want to be stereotyped or be told I am something I am not. I feel like everyone already stereotypes me. At first, I didn’t know how to feel about it, but now I try to find humor in it.”
