  5. Story
    Keena (St. Paul, 11th grade)
    I believe many of today’s problems stem from distrust or hatred of groups seen as “other,” such as people with different backgrounds, religions, races, sexualities, or gender expressions than one’s own. These issues could be lessened or fixed with more empathy and understanding of our commonalities.
