Personal Narrative: My Primary School As A Minority Student

This topic is a personal one as I went through primary school as a minority student. I am Native American and throughout most of my school life I struggled academically and socially with teachers and peers. The first part of my public school life was in the urban school systems and the second part was in a rural school system, both having issues related to Cultural Responsiveness. While attending an urban school, I transferred to a school called the “Little Red School House” in Minneapolis, Minnesota, it was an accredited Indian Community School . My mom made the choice to transfer me because at the school that I was attending I was one of the only Native American students, I felt different from all of the other students, I had low self-esteem.
