I was in middle school I believe it was my 6 grade year, when I learn about inequality. I was in a drawing contest which it was black history month or thanksgiving month and it was a contest for $100 who ever wins. Which we only had art class to work on it and at home. My art class came around later that day but the funny thing was I wasn’t planning on drawing but my art teacher kept begging saying “you should enter the contest why waste a talent like yours” so I kept thinking about it everyday since then. A couple of days went by I made my decision. I told the art teacher “ill enter it no doubt that ill win” I know I was doubting myself cause it was this other kid that can draw also way better then me. “You can't do better if you think like that” teacher said , I was only being directly honestly with myself. We only had two weeks to finish the drawing , which I wasted a lot time thinking about  joining the contest. We all were drawing Indians the ones with the thing on top of their forehead and they use used clothing to make their clothes. I wanted to draw a women with long braided hair her skin tone was medium brown. So a couple of days went by but this time I wasn’t working on the poster by myself I took it home because the contest was almost over and I needed more time to work on my poster. So from that day and until the contest day my and my dad work on it when I tell you was so proud and happy how this drawing was coming out like I was just excited that I made that it was the best feeling I had knowing that I was capable of doing this. The next day me and my dad still working on it but we had a lil bump in the process we didn’t know how to draw the braid so we kept trying until we just decide to look it up; we looked up we felt kinda stupid because it wasn’t as hard as we was making it it was just two wriggle lines on top of each other but both in the opposite direction. We got that out the way then another problem appear we didn’t have colors so I told me dad“ we need colors in order to get the judges attention” so he ran to the store and wat I meant by ran is driving in speed.

Approximately 10 minutes later, he came back with the cartons and color pencils so we started with face , hair and work our way down. So we messed up on the face because I color on side of her face dark and other light it was a mess good thing I had my dad he fix it fa me but no exactly good. The next day was the contest it was a good 24 kids that enter. So we turned them into back where the judges hang them up and judge them. I was like this in my head “first place me please” The judges came back instead of announcing the win first the go from 5th places and up to 1st places im saying in my head “I hope im not this number” while they telling who in which places each number and person they call my heart pounding each beat fell like my heart was finish fall out my chest I was nerves. But guess what place I got ? just guess, they were finally calling the second contested they called TIKIRA as in 2nd places ii was hurt and kinda proud because I was so close being the first. So they finally announced the 1st contested it ALLEN  the dude I was doubting myself behind  I knew he was going to become the first cause he was such a good drawer like go bless him with a goo talent. That very moment was I learned about inequality it wasnt fair for the rest of the contesters because he was always the one to make a drawing for the school teams such as the mascot, classroom themes etc. It wasn’t fair and equal to other because we were new to this and was always on point with it, he wasn’t a beginner he was on top of everyone in school. They shouldn’t have let him enter the contest because he had a way better chance of wining 1st places out of everyone and other kids could’ve got a places in winning. 10 minutes after being disappointed the teacher came over and talked to me he told me “I would’ve got that first places if the shade of color brown was shaded right and blend in at that point I blamed myself because If I would’ve did it right I could’ve had that first place. And still til this day the picture is still hanging around some where in that school building so at the end of day I still took a W!
