Growing up in South Los Angeles, I had to battle to prove that we are not all thugs or that we do not all smoke, steal, gang-bang or are ignorant. It seems as though no one expects individuals from South Los Angeles to be successful. Not everyone here fits these stereotypes; however, I am nothing like that.
