A knock on the door interrupted Selena's constant thinking, about home, her real parents, her foster home, her friends, and even her new house. Without a response from Selena, the knob turned, and a guy about her age, with dark-brown curly hair that fell onto his face, and chocolate-brown pupils, opened the door, and stated,"Dinner's ready," Selena didn't get out of her lying position in bed, and insisted, with a slight shrug for emphasis, "I'm not that hungry," "That's too bad. You have to come eat. Its kind of the only family thing we do; eat dinner together. Our parents would freak if you didnt come down." Again with the "Our"s and the "We"s. When will this family understand that she wasn't a part of them? She didn't belong here. And quite frankly, she didnt want to. Selena sighed, and answered, "I don't care," "Joe told me you were a little bitter; I didn't know you were rude, too." Selena ignored the comment the curly-face boy remarked. She didn't care about what he thought about her. She didn't even know what his name was. Almost instantly, the boy added, "I'm your new brother, by the way. The youngest one." As if to answer her thoughts, "My name's Nick, but it seems that you probably don't care. He later on shrugged, "It's okay though, neither do I. With all honesty, I dont care if you eat dinner with us. Its your loss." And with that, her new brother, whose name was apparently Nick, walked out of Selena's room, and closed the door behind him. Selena was left with ...

Only one in 10 students from low-income communities graduate from college. This Breakout trip to New York City will be a chance to witness inner-city public education in traditional and charter schools and learn about education reform all the way from the policy level to neighborhoods in Brooklyn. This trip will expose participants to the minority achievement gap, the school choice movement and sources of opposition, methods of evaluating school performance, mayoral control of school districts, and the role community organizing and parent activism play in the education reform movement. The College Awareness trip is a partnership between the Pace Center and reachout56 that will send 15 students to meet with New York City educators and policymakers as well as provide college guidance counseling to high school students in two New York City public schools in Brooklyn—Paul Robeson High School and the Academy of Innovative Technology—as part of the reachout56 College Awareness program. Trip participants will have the opportunity to do curriculum and lesson planning in partnership with the teachers at each school, where they will spend their mornings working directly with students in large groups and one on one. Afternoon and evening activities will include visits to high-performing charter schools, discussions with community organizing groups, and education policy seminars or workshops. Pre-trip activities will likely include a "crash course" on education reform (nationwide and ...
