Stop The Division, We Are All Part Of The Same Race

Our biggest focus should be changing our way of thinking to understand each other instead of criticizing one another.

Have you seen the royal wedding? If you haven't, I'm pretty sure you heard about it.

The problem that has been rising on the internet is the fact that people are comparing how people bashed childish Gambino for dating outside of his "race" but they were bashing the bride and prince for their marriage. For the internet, to be bashing people because of who they fell in love with makes me always remember that there is so much in the world that divides us.

I feel like nowadays, everyone focuses on the differences between each other but never look at the similarities. I feel like as humans, we always look for things that make a person different from us and most times when this happens it is usually something that they are doing wrong. For example, people often compare weight between one another. A person may belittle another simply because they are "overweight."

In my opinion, I feel like us focusing on "race" is the biggest problem because, technically speaking, the way that we identify race is not correct. What I mean by this is what we consider to be a race is not correct. For example, we consider a being black as a race when in actuality, there is only one race, which is the human race. a person is black, white or anything else was created to make others feel inferior and to create division.

When people start to realize that most words that were created were done so with the purpose to cause separation, then people will start to understand why we are not all so different after all. In turn, this will allow us as humans to have compassion for one another.

Therefore, I feel like, as one race, our biggest focus should be changing our way of thinking to understand each other instead of criticizing one another.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.
