The irony of Lizet’s 'High school performance'
Lizet recalls, “But if you passed an AP exam with a score of three or higher( a rare occurrence at hour school but something I’d done, to my own shock, for the first time in tenth grade).” Lizet’s impressive score is ironic considering that it is uncommon in her school. Therefore, Lizet is an inspired learner who rises above the typical scores like her colleagues. The score is a signal of her aptitude.
The Irony of Lizet’s life on Campus
Lizet recounts, “His (Lizet’s father) changing the subject (to club membership) worked, as the question got me thinking about how the high school version of me had been a member or officer of almost every club our school had to offer-even, for one very misguided summer, the JV, cheerleading team…I’d forgotten how that version of me spent most lunch periods not eating at Taco Bell with Omar, but in from of a classroom counting raised hands voting on where to go for our senior trip or the various theme days for spirit week…I’d almost forgotten that girl. And as I tried to answer my dad, I realized I had no idea what clubs, outside of sports like Jillian’s intramural softball, existed at Rawlings. There were so many flyers on the bulletin boards around campus that to me they blurred into one huge flyer advertising colored paper.” Ricky anticipates that she is still active in clubs like she used to. Nonetheless, her life has transformed entirely to the degree that she is unconscious on the bulletins publicizing clubs at the campus. Lizet undergoes change which results in alterations in her penchants. The changes accentuate the difficult reality at campus that would not permit her to engross in clubs. Change is absolute here and it occasions shifting of individuals’ preferences.
