For the past 10 years I have lived in a small West Texas Town known as OÃÂDonnell, TX, with a population of 974. OÃÂDonnell is located in Lynn County about 42.5 miles South of Lubbock Texas.

According to City-Data website (www.city-data.com/city/O-Donnell-Texas.html), the population by Race in OÃÂDonnell is substantially different from that of the new community my family now resides in. 65.3% being Hispanic, 33.2% being Caucasian, and an even smaller percentage being African American or other. As you can see the racial diversity was primarily Caucasian and Hispanic, we had one African American family and one Hawaiian Family living in our small community.

Many members of OÃÂDonnell do look like in me in that so many are white however we still have so many differences. Several people dress similar and act similar; many are very active in the community and the school. Coming from a small...
