    Boys Will Be Boys

    A magnet elementary school has its advantages and its disadvantages. In my case, my family saw that it
    had more advantages than disadvantages, very diverse in ethnicity, cheaper than private schooling, no
    dress codes, and so forth. With all this in mind, I ended up in a magnet school, not to mention I went to

    When any person would receive this “honor” the facial expression was total devastation, but deep down
    inside we felt a kind of coolness about it. It was like having the ultimate popularity in class. All the
    students would have respect for the kids who were brave enough to rebel in front of a teacher. I being
    the last person to join the group for listening to my Walkman in class was very honored to join. I
    remember it clearly, when I began to move my desk towards the teacher’s, I noticed the other members
