Life after the Rose

Hi my name is Wyllene Turner and I attend school at Street Academy. This year I am a senior. I have been waiting for this year for so long, and I did not know it was going to come so fast. But with all the excitement comes a lot of work, and that is what I have been doing. I have to do a senior project on a topic of my choice. Luckily during the summer I worked with the Rose Foundation's New Voices are Rising project so I have all or this information about my topic that I am able to breeze through my senior project. The required length of my senior project is 20 pages long, so when I heard how long my paper was going to be, I quickly came back to the Rose Foundation to get some new info on people of color being disproportionally placed in areas that are heavily polluted (environmental racism). Other than doing all this preparation for my senior project I am also trying to get ready for college. I am going to community college for my first two years, which I highly recommend, and the community college that I am going to go to is college of Alameda. By going there, my plan is to transfer to a four year college. And that is what my life has been like after the Rose.
