.Love without Hate, Apologies, & College Intervention.

Would love even exist if hate wasn't there to counterbalance it? Sides to stories, views, passions, aren't always motivated by love. Many things in society has changed because people were mad against the government. What you did was tell part of your story and you let us all in part of your life that you may think isn't so pretty. But I personally appreciate it and it just goes to show that this class has opened us up and made us comfortable to dicsuss such problems of racism, acceptance, class discrimination. While I am not an international student I bet many students reading your post will be able to connect with you just like Mfon did. What I would like to ask is are there anyways the College could do something? In the first week of customs I know my roommate, who is from China, and I never got to see each other because international students always had separate activities from the other students. Maybe more icebreakers in the beginning and throughout freshman year to promote relationships between international and non-internation, transfers, and McBrides, would help take down the divides you mention.
