Following with the theme of integration, I moved to Texas the first year of "bussing". Originally from a small town in Kansas, I had never met nor gone to school with kids of a different race. I experienced culture shock at the 5th grade level. I could not understand how kids did not like me and were mean to me just because of the color of my white skin. I experienced my first school "fight" because of this. A girl who had been bussed from the east side of town had come up behind me and kicked me. I instinctively kicked her back and that was it. I never had any more trouble from her, even through high school, but the look of hate for me never left her eyes.Debbie Lowreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895954665735506660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559682240693489971.post-80419064096068958322014-08-09T14:11:39.111-04:002014-08-09T14:11:39.111-04:00Isn't it hard to believe?
