Why see West Side Story? How is the story relevant today? Hate stems from so much ignorance and misunderstanding. Is there bad in this world? Absolutely! Is it scary to raise my kids in today’s society? You bet! Do I worry every single day I drop them off at elementary school? Sure! Young people can be cruel at such an early age but we can also teach our youth acceptance and patience and that although we may not all look alike, sound alike, believe in the same things-we are all human beings at our core. We all have feelings that hurt and lives that matter. My life is full of “different” people and I feel like the luckiest person for knowing each of them! It is what makes our world go ‘round. We should embrace our differences and learn to get along.
