Has there been a time when a question like do I even fit in with the others in a place you are or where well, Class Act shows things like how the main character Jordan and his friend Drew think about how this school is mainly filled with just white students.


Both Drew and Jordan weren't really comfortable with the school, especially on how it’s already their second year there and it still does not feel like they're welcome it's not like there is any other easier but to kinda accept that you'll be in the spotlight until there are less white students easier way of being able to simply blend in with the students since you still stand out front of the rest than pass by in the hallways but there have been just a few cases of how Drew and somewhat Jordan being able to feel comfortable for ones in the school.


My opinion, I do really like this book and how it can kinda express something like this happening to either me or someone close having something like that would be one of the most horrible experiences since I'm not a big fan of standing out and only having a few limited choices of either just trying to use the crowd or simply accept that il be looked at by other but simply this book was great 


Altho the main character Jordan is kinda just there he is kinda interested in how he really wants to go to a class of art but is stopped by his mother because she chooses for him what he should attend but even with all that he doesn't give up on it, he also kind since he's there for his friends' making a few jokes to cheer them up and also is there to cheer them up when their feeling down.


This book was great in showing how people even now still have problems and struggle with times like this where they really don't feel welcomed due to the people from there because of how they aren't really treated as someone who might just be sitting beside them relaxing as the other gets shredded.

Imagining this happening to you is scary especially when not like being in the spotlight
