"Black Twitter"

What I found most interesting this week was exploring black twitter. All I Knew that came from "Black twitter" was the comedy. This week showed me a completely different side of "Black Twitter" I never knew about. I am glad I expanded my understandings. I did some searching on twitter and found that this community is very tight and shows lots of support for one another. What was really trending this week and what got me a great understanding was the indecent in Florida. To sum it up, there was an officer who was extra aggressive when trying to restrain a minor who seemed to do nothing wrong and while he did receive a lot of support from twitter in general, I saw an entire community agree that the indecent was handled incorrectly and they were demanding for the officer to have some consequences or at least have the issue addressed. the Chief of police did address the issue and said the entire unit will further its education in how to handle this situation.

irls in high school have plenty of opportunities for finding scholarships and grants for college. Businesses and large corporations now seek to support women entering fields such as engineering, math, and computer technology. Other programs give girls the chance to hone their writing skills, make videos, or submit art and poetry in order to compete for scholarships. Some colleges offer scholarships that are only geared toward young women who have gained admission to that particular college. To find these scholarships, young women in high school should start the application process early. A young woman in high school may want to begin looking at scholarships during the freshman or sophomore year of high school.
