Rambling: New White Kid!

Breaking news: there is a new kid at our high school, and he's white.  This seems so bizarre, then it seems bizarre that it seems so bizarre.  So far we know that he wears braces, is very polite, and "had a good first day."

I cannot imagine transferring into a school where you are the only one of your color.  Everyone is curious to hear 'his story' about why he's attending our school, as if he needs a reason.  I'll be keeping a close eye on how the other students receive him... hopefully they'll embrace the move toward diversity ?

March Update:  I never heard about any conflicts between him and other students.  However, he has transferred.
