In the beginning of the reading it talks about how a young man applied to the college he wanted to go to. He wrote in his college admission essay that he wanted to get away from gang life in his community, and make something of himself. The admissions loved his essay and wanted to accept him until they went on to his social media page. They saw gang sybolism, crass language, and reference to gang activities. They decided after seeing his social media account and what was on it, to not accept him. When someone decided to look into why his essay and his social media account said two different things, they found something interesting.  He discovered that his social media count wasn't what it seemed. The boy thought he had to post these things to fit in his community. I think though you always need to watch what you post on social media. Even if you delete something or it disappears on snapchat after you send something to someone, it never permantly goes away. You are going to get judged by colleges or potential employers because they think your social media page is how your defined. If you say one thing they will take what you post on social media more seriously because that's how you are portraying yourself to everyone online. Pictures and other information from your youth still come up when you are adults even if you delete it. It can hinder who hires you, and who accpets you into their college.
