Because we have many different ethnic groups, there is always something that everybody can learn from one another. For example, to me that is accceptance. There are many sort of different people, you do not have to like them, but do accept them.

My school is best known for drinking and doing drugs, even though it is a dry campus. I person don't do drugs or have partied while at school because it is considered a dry campus, but I see many lower class students going out and doing that kind of stuff anyday during the week. The school does try to prevent this from happening a lot though so have to give the school credit on that.
