I think that the story should be about one student that a rough home life and to come to school to get a better education to they they could go far in life and never have to live the same way again. But she has friends that different then her. They have a good household, and when they are finish with school they have a job in their family business, so they go to school and not really learn. And they try to get Marshai to be like them.
At first she doesn't she does what she has to do to get by in school but at the same time do things so that her friends do not call her lame, loser or nerd. Then in the middle of the year she gets tired of her friends always making fun of her and being known as the smart ass. So she acts up and gets in to a lot of trouble. The teacher sees that this students and doesn't see why she is changing and why no one at home is talking to her to her to get her act together.
So the teacher is a male that is African American that show her that here are African Americans that do go far in life and that are African American man that around and care about their kids and students and other people. And with all this she starts to realize that she could have friends that would find cool for being smart, and that she could make something of her and go far in life unlike her family.
