The YouTube Channel zefrank1 asked us to consider what it really means to "fit-in." This year in class I will ask the same question and ask you who are you below the surface?
Here are some quotes that zefrank1 asks during his video. Please speak to the quotes in your Writer's Journal and prepare to read your thoughts aloud:
*"When I was younger, I had this feeling that there was this handbook that I had never gotten that explained how to be, how to laugh, what to wear, how to stand by yourself in the hallway. Everyone looked so natural, that they had all practiced, like they all knew exactly what to do."
*"I'd imagine what people were like when I wasn't around, how they'd compare notes, how I didn't quite fit, or even worse, maybe they just wouldn't notice."
*"I made a version of me that fit in. Whatever that means."
* "The way to be become natural, like I wanted to be so badly, is by forgetting what you're trying to be to other people. And if there is a handbook, you probably get to write it yourself."
