How it feels to be Colored Me

I love the beginning of this essay. It was humorous how innocent and sneaky the author was to welcome the tourists and northerners into her home state. It was also funny that she felt that authority should "take notice" of her patriotism. As the essay goes on her innocence is continously overwhelming in Eatonville, where she was a spirited little girl. I can relate when she talks about how she didn't have to be like other blacks who were mad about the way things were. She decided she would rather focus on becoming a better person.
I admire her confidence and positive outlook on life. She seems to not allow anything to get in her way She's definitely a lover of the chase. She really feels sorry for the person who can get something taken from them. And she's proud of the surprise that she is to people.
