In the 1950’s Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream that all ethnical races would live together as one people. If he was alive today, I think he’d be impressed in the progress mankind has made. Most people have evolved since the 50’s and we, being the product of citizens bornin King’s era, live in a significantly different society. We, for the most part, live in environments made up of different races and styles.

Though some us may live in neighborhoods made up of a majority of a race, we interact with other races in other surroundings such as school. I attended a predominantly Latino high school, and not until I enrolled at Cerritos College did I get the chance to make friends of different races. Cerritos College is made up of a diverse student body. If you haven’t noticed on your way while rushing to class, many students loiter around campus in bunches. These students differ in ethnical backround, but they look beyond race.

Ethnicity is not the only difference on campus. Style is another key element that gives our campus some flavor. Our school consists of pimps, jocks, skaters, punks, nerds, and foreign students. All with their own sense of style that makes them unique.

I am grateful that Martin Luther King Jr. made a stand for mankind. He made a difference in history and if it wasn’t for him, we’d probably still be drinking from different water fountains.
