There’s another school further up the hill, not too far from the one I go to. In fact, they are actually our biggest (and only “worthy”?) rival out of the whole district. I generally don’t hear many great things about them, whether they’re biased opinions or not. A friend of mine is dating a boy from that school, and I was pretty shocked to hear when she proceeded to tell me about the racial segregation and prejudice that goes on up there. I mean, I knew they weren’t the friendliest, most welcoming crowd, but.. still. It still blows me away when I hear of terrifying news like that, especially since it’s so close to me. It’s just completely depressing knowing that things like that are still going on. I felt humbled, knowing that even though I abhor my school and the people in it half of the time, we are still more of a family than that other school is and will probably be. Although, I really just pray that one day, they’ll find that up there too. That’s a wish that goes out for the rest of the world. It’s a tough one to accomplish, but it’s certainly not impossible. Why can’t we be friends??
