What a beautiful story. Everyone– EVERYONE– is born with the capability to be intelligent, curious, and creative. Not everyone is lucky enough to be born and raised in an environment that values or fosters those traits.
How autonomous are we, really? Is our fate sealed the day we take our first breath, are we hapless and helpless to change it? Maybe, but the seed of potential is always there regardless, waiting for someone to water it. We don't all get the chance we deserve. Sometimes we get a chance but it's still not enough to save us. But ultimately it's lovely to think it's always going to be accessible somewhere inside.
Honestly, watching a movie with so much Shakespeare just made me want to be poetic. It feels like a love letter to all the kids who suffer, knowingly or unknowingly because the arts are undervalued and underfunded. Advanced communication and artistic expression are some of the things directly that define us as humans. Now I feel like I need to go study the correlation between exposure to the arts and likelihood to be involved in crime.
Shoutout Mr. Weber, you're the best English/Drama teacher ever and I'll always remember how you always kept the whole class engaged through your genuine passion for literature, history, and teaching.
