Why we need a open internet

I'm a student and the only thing i have to get away from the hard times of school and home is the internet. The internet is a place where one is not judge by the color of their skin or how they look you can play games and be who ever you want in them, it allows me to relieve stress that otherwise could weight heavy on me trying ti juggle, school, home, work. Without net neutrality i feel that the lack of a free open internet would weight heavy on everyone. Unlike most people I'm unable to learn through reading but the internet has helped me learn a lot of things that i wouldn't know at all even if i were to read them, sites like youtube have helped me in this area.

I am begging you please keep the internet open because the internet is all some people have. You may have a life a wife a child but some people don't really have the ability to meet someone by walking up to them for fear of being judged at least over the internet they could meet and eventually grow to the level of a relationship. Also with a free open internet it allowed a lot of growth for business in the united states even in Michigan where we really need it.

Sincerly,
