An article written in celebration of black history month. I was given this topic - To write of my experience back home and now in Canada and the challenges I have faced as a black kid.
Taking a few steps backwards to recount the whereabouts of the past, a vivid memory is placed before me even though the happenings of the past occurred years back. I still can picture my well pressed uniform placed neatly on me, the socks, the whimsical shoes that had to go with it and the routine of my daily life all attached to it. I laugh now as I take a walk back and even as I progress further, I encounter treasured memories on my way picking them up not wanting to lose any of it. Of course! Such joys of reflection brings with it unforgettable events and trust me events you want to let go of.
High school days had a mixture of fun and sadness, stress and playfulness, hard work and relaxation, laughter and tears and it all helped to create a joyous moment there. It was a time to let the youth in us out of its hiding place and to undergo body changes that aroused confusion but in it all I can come forward boldly to say it was an adored moment.
