If you ask me who I am, I could easily tell you my name is Sade Goodluck and i'm 17 years old. I was born in Dallas, Texas and i'm a senior in high school, but that doesn’t really tell you anything about me.
If you ask me who i feel like I am or really what I feel like I am, I would be able to tell you, I feel like I'm a place in time, like a place holder, so that others may open my book and read whats inside, whats there to learn.
And when you open the pages, you look for the section that speaks of my family and my tradition.
The truth is, i couldn’t really tell you much of my tradition and family, i can only tell you what I did know. I always did want to know who my family was, I mean the native family, the side that knew all the traditions, but when I would search, all I could find was pictures or Native Americans staring deeply into the camera, as if staring into my eyes, but I could also feel at times that i was a part of that.
I feel like that side of me is the strong side, the side that keeps me moving and trying. wanting never to give up, I feel like I'm a typical statistic, everyone expects me to fail, but i have so far overcome this.
