High school was the time I believe in which I was defined by a group of people the most. My high school was very diverse, and if it was not for the football team than I believe I would have been characterized in a different way. I had many black friends on my team. Now we look back and laugh about what and how we thought about each other. My friends believed that because I was white and Catholic, that I was a goodey goodey. They thought I would never want to hang out, listen to the type of music they did, or just overall enjoy life the way they did. Before high school, I had never interacted with an African-American. So I had my stereotypes as well. However, I was truley wrong. My good friend to this day is an African-American and works at Abercrombie. He used to get made fun of all the time because it is out of the ordinary for a black man to work at such a store.
