Everyone deserves to be accepted for who they are
Being an older sister of three children who are a different race from me, I am concerned about how they will be treated when they grow up and become kids in grade school. The way I see others being treated is truly unacceptable. Every single human was created for a purpose, and the purpose was not to be teased and made fun of.
Everyone deserves happiness and to be accepted for who they are as an individual. Someone’s race does not define who they are as a person. I want to fight to make a change in society so that people with disabilities, people who are a different race and even women are all treated equally.
