How it feels to be colored Me.

I love the beginning of this essay. It was humorous how innocent and sneaky the author was when visitors came to Eatonville. It was also funny that she felt that authority should "take notice" of her patriotism. As the essay goes on her innocence is continously overwhelming in Eatonville, where she was a spirited little girl. I can relate when she talks about how she didn't have to be like other blacks who were mad about the way things were. She decided she would rather focus on improving herself. I admire her confidence and positive outlook on life. She seems to not allow anything to get in her way. She's definitely a lover of the chase of success. She really feels sorry for the person who has it all and has to work to keep it. She's proud of the surprise that she becomes to people.
