<p>I know what you mean. And its not something you can just brush off as something that can’t happen where you live. I recently moved to a predominantly white neighborhood. At my old house I would always go running in the morning. Over here I did that last week after we settled down and my parents got very upset. They told me off after that, referencing Trayvon Martin. I had never realized that me just running in the morning with my sweats and mini afro could attract unwanted attention. Sure not everyone is like that but those people are out there.</p>
<p>Your parents gave you that talk too?? Now I feel utterly hopeless 
my parents have refused to get me a bicycle because they’re afraid someone will shoot me… Heck they have anxiety attacks when I’m outside alone. We shouldn’t have to live like this </p>
<p>@emenya did you just say mini afro??? Are you a girl? If you are omg can we bond and share hair secrets (sorry whenever I find other girls with Afros I feel a spiritual connection lol)</p>
<p>@Jellybae Yeah they gave me that talk. We should definitely not have to live like this but it is our jobs to get a great education and one day change the world.</p>
<p>And no, I’m not a girl 
But I have a friend who has the meanest afro I’ve ever seen. And unfortunately I don’t have hair secrets lol</p>

<p>what AP’s has everyone taken before senior year? And anyone who has taken computer science or art history, can you tell me about it?</p>
<p>@emenya I’ve taken AP World History, US History, Physics C: Mechanics, Calculus BC, Computer Science, and English Language and Composition</p>
<p>I don’t know what AP Computer Science should be like because my teacher retired before the end of the first semester and we had substitutes and a senior teach our class the rest of the year. It was pretty bad. Properly taught it’s pretty much all about Java programming.</p>
<p>I’ll continue the trend

<p>@Jellybae How was E2? And is your physics C mechanics or electricity and magnetism?</p>
<p>@Mathmaticious is prior instruction in any type of computer programming a must?</p>
<p>and </p>
<p>@Jellybae How come your not submitting SAT? Like your thoroughly done with SAT and only want to submit ACT?</p>
<p>@emenya that’s awesome! Fellow black bioengineer makes unite</p>
<p>Genetics is so intriguing;although, I am leaning more toward tissue cell regeneration and cancer research as I’m wanting to be premed also</p>
<p>Oh, I took my SAT in one sitting no studying either and M: 670 R: 560 W:660</p>
<p>What I wrote above ^^^ @emenya</p>
<p>and thank you @emenya</p>
<p>@Mathmaticious whats E2? I think my school only offers one type of physics c but I’m not sure which. </p>
<p>@emenya my SAT score isn’t good enough for the schools I want to apply to and I’m 373828282 times certain my ACT score will be a lot better than my SAT. If not, I guess I’ll just retake the SAT.</p>
<p>Nice to see this thread booming. When do you all go back to school? I start on the 25th</p>
<p>Tommorow the 14th!</p>
