I read the reading High School Secret Life by Emily White and she basically talk about her observation of a high school cafeteria. After I have read her reading, it got me reminiscing about my high school days. I realize that I did have my own crew. My friends and I sat down every lunch period and talk, laugh and do other thing we couldn't do in class. I agree with the author  when she states that their were different groups of kids in the café. Was I part of the popular crowd? - I didn't know and I didn't really care.

Thinking back, was I trying to be one of them (popular)...no-  because in my high school I think my friends and I were part of a unique club, our goal was to graduate and move on to bigger and better things and accomplish our goals and dreams.

She gave the example of "mean girls' to show how the people one hang with shape one's identity. for me, I think it is true, maybe they are influential and they will act or do or even say things that the crew does.http://bsuenglish102spring2013.blogspot.com/
