Before I came to Wheelock, I did not know my identity outside my family structure, gender, or ethnicity. I did not know I was more than just a female, aunt, sister, daughter, or Hispanic. However, Wheelock has helped me to understand that you are more than just what people label you as.

Being a Person of Hispanic Background:
-It’s obvious that Wheelock still struggles with “race.”
-It is not easy to branch out to other race, more specifically white. It’s like the conversation is there, but not the friendship.

My experience with identity at Wheelock has been interesting. While I have changed, I have mostly learned more about my hobbies, my characteristics, my position on religion, and my political views. Through the diversity on campus, I have learned more about myself as an individual and have...

Being pretty much one, or one of two people of color in every class or social group is weird compared to the city I’m from which is really diverse. Majority of the school is white students, with an upper middle or upper class background, and it’s uncomfortable when you’re not a part of that.

Well, to be honest, I feel Wheelock promotes racism. In a twisted way, I feel like discussing the importance of race makes racism more prominent. Americans are Americans, and showing differences between races had made me become more racist. I never saw a difference between races until I came here....

As identity goes at Wheelock, I feel that mine is very stifled. I am a girl with very conservative republican views, and am constantly having that be trashed by faculty, staff, as well as other students. You would think that a place that encourages identity would show respect for someone’s views...

Throughout my time at Wheelock, the continuously drilled theme is accepting others. When taking classes here, I felt that the community tries to make the minority or the gay/lesbian groups feel most comfortable on campus. Being white and straight, I feel overlooked, and that the campus has focused...

Diversity at Wheelock is a work in progress. I feel safe here, but you never know with what others feel.
