I started watching a TV program of shorts called "Stories Told by You".  The white text of the title appeared on screen.  The stories were supposed to be about people's experiences with the 9-11 attack.  The first story was of a young black child, maybe 4 years old, sitting at a table with a parent trying to teach him.  I was that parent, and I think we were working on conservation tasks, trying to prepare him for school.  He poured some water.  I was proud of him.  The person we talked to though, said he wasn't up to level and couldn't get into school.  We argued with him.  The boy had had a head injury- hit with a rock, I think, which had set him back.  He was re-learning, and we insisted he could manage.  Then the boy was grown, 18 I guess, sitting in a classroom wearing a loose gold top.  He was either ready for graduation or it might have been his birthday.  The teacher had on some gold pants that matched the shirt he was wearing.  A younger, maybe 12 year-old black girl was sitting at the front of the class.  The teacher was giving clues about some inspirational person and she was supposed to guess who it was.  In this case, I think it was the boy.  When the girl found this out, she countered it, saying he wasn't really all that great.  The boy was upset and spoke up for himself, saying, "well how do you think I feel..."  He was retarded.  He had borrowed a textbook from a white boy in the class, and the white boy angrily took the book back when the retarded boy had unintentionally begun drooling on it.  The second story was of a woman.  For a while I was her, and was in a Curves Gym class.  This consisted of sitting on something and moving it- it was like a large spring-mounted horse as seen at old playgrounds.  The woman was with some friends, and her boyfriend ended up stealing something out of her car.
