I understand that "business decisions" are made for a variety of reasons, but I firmly believe this one was a mistake.  I am thirty years old, I grew up in a Hispanic household run by my grandmother and my single mother.  No siblings, no father or stepfather in the picture.  Yet, somehow I have managed to fall in love and get married, remain married for the last 8 years now and have a well-adjusted 6 year old daughter.  How did I manage this despite my upbringing, you ask?

Boy Meets World. That's right, a teen sitcom helped to fill in the gaps that my life had. My mom tried real hard, but on occasion she succumbed to using a heavy hand in terms of discipline.  Boy Meets World showed me how to parent differently.  Boy Meets World showed me how friends didn't have to come from the same neighborhood as you did, but from all walks of life, e.i. Shawn Hunter and Cory Matthews.  Boy Meets World showed me all about love and making a marriage work. Which then twenty-some years later, Girl Meets World showed me that a marriage was able to withstand time and circumstance after seeing that Cory and Topanga survived life together. 

Girl Meets World impacted my young daughter as much as its predecessor impacted me.  My daughter learned how to be a good friend, how to try to win over her bullies and that no matter what happens, life isn't so bad when you have the right people around you.  The friendship between Maya and Riley showed her that your friends don't have to like the same things you do or be just like you to be friends. Lucas showed her a person CAN start fresh even after some rough behavior. Farkle proved to my daughter that you can have looks AND brains. Oh, and Smackle, she showed my daughter that Autism or not, a human is still a human, and could use great friends to embrace what makes a person unique.  Riley showed my daughter to be herself regardless of the common opinion.  She showed her to be accepting and dependable.  But Riley and her friends aren't through teaching youngsters yet.

I'm hoping to reach out to the Disney executives, the guys in charge of Disney+, Hulu (because let's face, you all have recently joined forces and could amp your viewers/subscriptions) or hey even the executives of Netflix if they want to take on the exciting venture of managing the resurrection of Girl Meets World even though they will be aligning themselves with Nickelodeon.  Seriously, what other show (besides Andi Mack) is showing kids everywhere what to expect as they get older?  What show has been so revolutionary to have their wholesome characters experience teen drinking, peer pressure, getting their licenses, fighting, worrying about gradtation and getting into college, finding themselves, etc.? 

Please don't deprive rapidly growing children the rare opportunity of having a phenomenal show in their lives.  There are other kids, like I was myself, who don't realize that they can have an example of what their lives could be. Honestly, if it hadn't been for a show like Boy Meets World and Girl Meets World, I wouldn't have made anything of myself and I would forever be blaming my mother for my woes.  Bring this show back.  Fast forward it if need be to their Senior year.  But they're not done teaching all of us yet.

Thank you for your time.
