I Have a Dream!



I have a dream that one day-hopefully soon-we will treat each other with respect no matter what age, social class, or education we are from. The rich business executive who has millions in his bank account and the single mom who works two jobs, barely with enough to feed her family, should be accepted and given just as much compassion and respect as anyone else. Every person has a purpose and should not be discouraged by what they don’t have. They should be encouraged by who they are and what they can be. No one should be disrespected because of their belongings or their personal beliefs or their age. Why are the high school dropout and the valedictorian treated differently in today’s society? We all have our gifts and personalities, nothing is different. If you just look at the person standing in front of you, not at what he’s wearing or what diploma he has on his wall, but at his expression of gratitude for simply being treated as an equal.
