 Today we did a bell ringer on what is a follower and a follower is someone who do something that they don’t want to do or trying to be like someone else. Then we read a poem call “We real cool” made in the 60’s. It’s about these 7 boys skipping school, drinking, sneaking out at night, etc. It was base on a true story by Gwendolyn Brooks. We answer some questions at the end of class.

Introduction

 My name is Ty’Ana Pough, I’m from Columbus, Ga and I attend Cedar Grove High School .I enjoy doing a lot of things but one of the things is cheer. I’ve been cheering since I was four years old and it’s always been my favorite thing to do. I also like doing hair, I’ve been doing it for about a year now and I can wait to get better at doing it.

After that, I want to attend college (I don’t know what college I want to attend or what I want to major in but I hope I will figure that out soon).

I already know how to drive but I'm really not comfortable when I'm doing it. I want to get my licence in November and get a car the summer of my senior year.

The movement comprises many views and a broad array of demands but they center on criminal justice reform.
