On a scorching hot day‚ I feel a slight breeze as my hair falls above my eyes. We are all excited to finally go to the playground after a day of hard work.

It was Emily‚ who in the beginning was across from me; she gave me a nod and mouthed “Good Luck”. Other girls on the team gave each other the same look of reassurance too.

I began questioning my sexuality in seventh grade. I had just been given my first phone and suddenly a whole new world opened up to me. The LGBTQ+ community welcomed me with open arms as I read up on labels and identities‚ and I soon discovered that I’m bisexual. However‚ this “whole new world” also exposed me to bigotry‚ hate‚ and ignorance. Very quickly‚ I learned that people like me aren’t entirely accepted or respected.

Choosing a cultural event for my assignment wasn’t easy for me. There were so many different types of events to consider that choosing only one was difficult because there are so many to choose from‚ that I have an interest in‚ almost every type.
