Throughout my years of being a student, I\u2019ve always been taught that a minority was someone of a color other than white, from somewhere other than the United States, and who had a faith other than Christian. Well, here it is, 1995, almost 14 years since my school days began. I\u2019m not dependent on any sort of drug, whether it be alcohol, tobacco (or worse), my parents aren\u2019t divorced, and I don\u2019t carry a weapon to school every day. I don\u2019t have a child who is just learning to walk; I\u2019ve never even had sex and suddenly I\u2019m a minority.<\/p>\n

Each day when I walk into school, this becomes even more evident. I sit in homeroom on a Monday morning and listen to the stories of a classmate who almost died of alcohol poisoning at a graduation party over the weekend. The ignorant fool sitting next to me brags about how our classmate drank two liters of vodka, ten beers, and a bottle of some kind of hard liquor.<\/p>\n

Sorry, I\u2019m not up on the names of alcoholic beverages. They pronounced him dead but then revived him. His blood alcohol level was four times that of a person who was just drunk. When he woke up from the coma, he was still drunk and asked the nurse for a beer. Isn\u2019t that the coolest story? Yeah, the coolest, he almost died. Want to hear something even cooler? He doesn\u2019t have to go to rehab or any other sort of counseling, so he\u2019ll have plenty of time to do it again. That\u2019s just great.<\/p>\n

I sit in my class and overhear kids telling their friends how they\u2019re going to visit their fathers in Arizona or Ohio over Christmas break. It makes me realize that I am one of the select few whose parents are still together and I\u2019m very thankful for it. I can\u2019t imagine living states away from one of my parents and relying on two weeks a year to fill the lifetime of void. But somehow people tolerate it, after all, it happens so often.<\/p>\n

In my next class I\u2019ll hear a fifteen-year-old girl tell her girlfriend about how her baby son took his first steps last Tuesday. Her friend replies with a sigh how she can\u2019t wait to have a baby with her latest boyfriend of seven months and three weeks (as of today). Another girl complains because her boyfriend wouldn\u2019t pay for half of the abortion. For some sick reason I ask, \u201cWhy am I the odd man out?\u201d I\u2019d rather not know.<\/p>\n

As I walk to my car after school, I think about everything I heard and the mouths I heard it from. It makes me realize everything that I am not and thank goodness for everything I am: The minority. \u2013<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
