Other: I’m a black girl from a single-parent home, lower-middle class, and I live in a house built by Habitat for Humanity. However, I do live in a town of about 27,000 people, 85% white and upper-middle class. I also have a female teacher who is my mentor at my school, she is “officially pledged” to be my mentor, and we are close and talk often.
