<p>Whats the big deal about going to a school filled with black kids?</p>

<p>I don't know. You tell me...diversity? To show that I'm not another rich prep school kid who has only seen white people.</p>

<p>But maybe they'll see that as a bad thing that I didn't go to the typical, "rich, white kid" school. Who knows...</p>
