Anna grew up in a very typical setting. She 

lived in a nice house, in a nice neighborhood, 

filled with nice people. She knew what it meant 

to have a family. She looked at her parents 

and saw a mother and a father, who loved 

their child more than anything else in the 

world. Anna realized that other people also had 

similar families in their neighborhood, and that 

they all looked very similar. Everyone looked 

just like her. 

When Anna went to school, she noticed that 

not everyone looked like she did. There were 

other children who weren’t white, and who 

didn’t come from the same type of family that 

she was used to seeing. This was confusing for 

Anna to understand at her young age, but she 

did understand one thing… No matter what 

other people looked like or how different their 

families were from Anna’s, they still had a 

family. 

Once Anna grew into a teenager, she could 

finally comprehend what she had noticed at 

such a young age. She knew that there was 

such a thing as interracial couples and 

interracial individuals who came from mixed 

families. Although she didn’t see anything 

wrong with this, she never saw herself 

realistically starting a family with someone 

outside of her own race. Her family also shared 

these same views. They wanted their daughter 

to be like them. They wanted Anna to stick to 

her own kind. 

Dating someone of another ethnicity wasn’t 

something that Anna had ever considered 

before. Until fate stepped in… When she wasn’t 

looking, a boy by the name of Jason walked 

right into Anna’s life and changed it forever. 

Jason wasn’t what Anna had ever pictured 

when she thought of a partner. He was 

Dominican and African American, and an 

aspiring musician. He came from a broken 

family, and a very difficult past. He was the 

complete opposite of everything that Anna had 

always seen in her future, yet there was 

something about him that she couldn’t ignore.

As their friendship blossomed, so did their 

feelings for one another. Although it was 

something completely unexpected, Anna didn’t 

want to miss out on a potentially amazing 

relationship solely based on what others 

thought or felt was right or acceptable. 

Anna knew that some people would judge her 

and Jason, but she didn’t mind what others 

thought of their relationship. The only approval 

that was important to her was her families. 

She was worried what they would think or say. 

Would they be mad? Upset? Disappointed?
