Do you believe in love at first sight? Well, that is what 125 students from Morton East were asked, and it is interesting the responses we got from the students.

Eighty-three students said no, 37 students said yes, and five students said yes and no.

Love at first sight is something a lot of people talk about, but students at Morton East have different opinions on whether it is real or just attraction. Love at first sight usually means having strong feelings for someone the moment you see them, even if you do not know anything about them. Some students think it can happen in everyday places like school hallways, while others believe love takes time and comes from getting to know someone. When students at Morton East were asked about this topic, many shared that looks can catch attention, but personality matters more overall.

“I guess my love at first sight would’ve been when I was in the hallway. I was walking to my next class, and I see this girl with a really pretty face, pretty eyes, and I haven’t seen her since then, but I’ve always wanted to just see if I can ask for her number,” junior Alexander Ballesteros said.

Even though moments like that can stick with someone, not everyone believes that kind of feeling is real love.

“True love is different from love at first sight. You can fall in love with an appearance,” sophomore Brian Juarez said.

Another student believes that love cannot happen without knowing who the person really is.

“You have to know the person that it’s going to be,” senior Rogelio Navarro said.
