Ohl No! Not another essay. The groans per. correct grammatical errors, analyze zould clearly be heard throughout the ■oom. It meant hour after hour of writing, ■ewriting. and the possibility of writing 3.gain. It meant research into the topic if ' here was no prior knowledge. Most of all, ioweuer, it meant time. Something there leuer seemed to be enough of was time. As the grumbling still continued, some- one softly murmured What did we do? Why did she have to make us write an zssay. It seemed a sort of punishment, he word essay . The loss of their time vas a sort of punishment to many stu- dents. What they failed to realize was that hey weren ' t the only ones losing ualuable ime. Teachers had to spend as much time, if tot more, grading the horrid looking stack of papers which represented hours of in- iiuidual work. She had to read each pa- it, comment on it. and then place a grade on it. Why did they do it if all it did was take up even more of their time than simply gluing out a multiple choice worksheet? Did they like to spend their evenings in front of a never-ending stack of papers? Of course, they didn ' t. They, too, had many other things they needed and want- ed to do. They did it for you.

With a dazed look and a mind that is millions of miles away. South Wind Warren gets lost in her thoughts. South Wind is a full-blood Cherokee Indian. She grew up with her tribe in Oklahoma and often thinks and dreams eibout those days. Someday in the near future. South Wind would like to return to Oklahoma to love the basic life. Haue you ever ivondered what it Luas like to Hue in America be- fore it was settled? South Wind has lived on a reservation in Okla- homa and knows what it was truly like for the Cherokee Indi- ans. It ' s really a lot of fun. Living in a Tee-pee is a lot like camping. South Wind said. Having a mother and a father who are full-blood Indians meant a different kind of nighttime en- tertainment. We used to have Indian rit- uals. We would have them on every other half moon. Men and women would Join together and dance in the moonlight, South Wind said. South Wind was born in Rang- er, Texas, but she grew up in Oklahoma. When I was smaller, who I was really didn ' t matter to peo- ple. But now, that I ' m older, peo- ple seem to care more. Most peo- ple think that because I am Indian, that I am different, or that I should act different than I do, she said. South Wind ' s American friends were a little different than her Indian friends. Take their names for instance. Compared to Little Antelope and Young Bear names like Dick and Jane can seem rath- er plain and common. ■ 7 am very proud of who I am. I am happy to be a Cherokee In dian. I wouldn ' t want to be any one else. It feels good to be a little different than everyone else. Who else can say that they are a full- blooded Cherokee Indian? South Wind said. South Wind hopes to someday return back to her reservation in Oklahoma and live with her tribe once again.
