The Blindside

Over the recent break I went to the movies three of my sisters and my sister's boyfriend. We decided to go see The Blindside. As I was watching the movie I was thinking to myself, how was it so easy for that family to take Michael in? I know here there aren't many homeless teenagers with no parents around to raise them or clothe them but in other towns there are. Other "higher class" people tend to stay away from those who are "less fortunate" for fear of being scammed or robbed. Personally I believe that is terrible and extremely stereotypical. The movie made me realize no matter who a person hangs out with or what they may have been a part of in their past we should all accept people for who they are today and the person they could potentially become. We have been pulled in by our peers into our little cliques and no longer think about others. Personally I want to began thinking about things in a different way and work hard to put others before myself.
