I read Blink by Malcom Gladwell Seven Seconds in the Bronx: The Delicate Art of Mind Reading
Just like the men of the National Archeological Museum of Athens, the New York police officers from the Street Crime Unit made an incorrect assumption that Diallo was criminal just because he was standing in a crime hot spot. Then there was the assumption that Diallo made. Diallo made a major misstep in thinking that the cops were muggers not that the cops gave any indication otherwise not so much as to say they were police or a flashing of a badge. I have learned that people see what they expect to see the cops expected to see criminals on the streets so they see a criminal pulling out a gun and Diallo expected to see muggers so he saw muggers. I myself have experienced this then people look at me they see someone that is younger than I am they think me to be in 8th grade when I am in 12th. They also think I am weak and so easily to push around, but I have found that there are different kinds of strengths other than the typical. This lesson I learned from a many of books concerning the people of stealth such as the Rangers Apprentice and the Night Angle Trilogy.
Then and Now
Q: Where were you born? A: I was born in West Allis Milwaukee Wisconsin.
Q: So you moved here from Milwaukee. When did you move here? A: I moved here Octobure in third grade.
Q: Do you regret the move? A: At the time I did, but now I would have to say no. Its not that I don't miss my friends, but I really think that I would not be the person I am to day.
Q: What changed your mind about the move? A: What first changed my mind was my third grade teacher. I use to really suck at math, but she acctully sat me down and helped me figure it out and now math is one of my best classes gade wise. Math can still be a little confusing. Another reson that I feel like the move was for the best is that I mite never have disscavered my love for reading in the fith grade or how much I like to sing in the sixth and I definitly wouldn't have had the oprotunity to do show choir if I had stayed where I was. Another thing lets admit it milwaukee isn't the safest place to grow up.
Q: Do you remember the names of your friends from Milwaukee? A: Yes I do there was Joe and Val who were my nextdoor neighbors. Then there was Forest and Chris who I got to know because our parents are friends.
Q: Do you keep in touch with them still? A: I don't keep in touch with Joe and Val, but then again Joe is a year older than me and Val is I beleave five years older. I still keep in constant contact with Forest and Chris though. We game with each other from time to time and we often go to there house during vecation times so we can play on the computer face to face. There are some computer games that you can't play across the internet that you can play locally.
Q: You say you go over to their house do they ever come to yours? A: Yes they do, but we don't have as many computers as they do so it is harder for all of us to play together.
Q: Why is it you only think of these four friends didn't you have any others? A: Well I guess I did but they weren't nesesarily friends. The most I did with them was hangout at school and a few birthday parties.
Q: what was the name of your school in Milwaukee? A: It was General Michel grade school.
Q: Do you have any particular good or bad memories of your school? A: There is one bad memory of a Bully named Guy in first grade. I'm not sure if that was his real name or not but I remember him coming to Art class one day with a girls name on his shirt say he liked her. That very same Art class that girl and here best friend passed me a note asking which one of them I like more. Well you can imagien how fritend I was not only was I at the age were girls were "yuky" but Guy had just anounced that he liked her. So when the next day he aproched me I thought I was in for it, but no he had just come over to give me a soda he bought for me from the vending machien. So I thought he wasn't upset with me and knew it was a misundersanding. I found out how wroung I was the next day. When I was heding down to the after school, I think it was called the "clubhouse" porgram but I'm not sure, when I saw Guy coming towrds me I thought nothing of it until I saw his eyes and how he was smiling and thats when I took off. He never cought me I was one of the fastes kids in our grade and I have frequintly hooped the fence at the top of the hill out side the school. From then on for the rest of the year he would chase me around the building if I wasn't with others.
Q: So what happened to him? The next year he had moved so I had a year with out him before I moved.
Q: Well that was a bad memory, but do you have any good memories at you school? A: Thoughs are bit I'm a bit fuzzy on but I would say that when the older kids would pick me amoung the first in capture the flag during the after school program. They chouse me because I was fast and wasn't afraid to climb the huge baseball gates that they put behinde home bass.
