Hi Ms. Rosenberg ~ I just want to thank you for sparking something in me two days ago in class ~ you were discussing the differences between people in the city and rural areas - when you said that in the city, you can find basically everyone from every background, but realize that they have the same feelings as you, as opposed to being in rural areas because you would just feel out of place. I knew that we're all human and we all have similar feelings, despite our race, but I felt not everyone realizes that, so it's nice to know that we can relate.
