Our New V.P.S.O.:Our New
V.P.S.O.
One day many years ago I was told that we were going to have new V.P.S.O. and that he was a colored guy. After I told some of my friends and other people about our new V.P.S.O., we were all wondering how he would be as a cop. We were so curious that we had the guts to go and ask our mayor about him. But our mayor didn't give us a lot of answers even though we asked lots of questions. Not long after asking our mayor about the new V.P.S.O., we went to play basketball by the school. While we were playing ball, we saw the airline agent, Isaac Fisher, heading to the airport to get his passengers. Then my friend Rebecca said, "I wonder if the new V.P.S.O. is coming in yet?" No one knew for sure but Josh told us to wait for awhile and see when Isaac gets back from the airport. We continued to play basketball and I wondered to myself if we were going to have a good V.P.S.O. or not? But then Adam saw Isaac returning with the black cop and his family. He yelled, "Hey, look, who's that? I wonder if he's the new V.P.S.O. He's also got two kids and a wife with him." After a while we walked down the road to check on where the new cop was going to be staying. At his residence we went over to him and started talking to him and his family. We asked them a lot of questions about what they were going to do here, then we left. Not long after they moved in, teenagers and younger kids started to tease and bother the V.P.S.O.'s two kids. They did this because they were different from the Natives here. They didn't like them because of their dark skin, and during activities the Native kids would tell them that they were no good at anything because they were black. Ever since then a lot of people have been against blacks. By: Mary Jane
