being poor
so it begins, we as privelleged students from our high school have mostly everything handed to us..espcially when we are born here. this week we learned about wealthy and under class poor. Now i cant say many people can relate to that topic...but i can i came from a family that struggles everyday to make money (my mother) who works like crazy to save up money not only for me and her bank account but to pay bills its hard having a budget and a child. now not many people see this as a issue but thousands of americans each day are subjected to either debt or almost on the verge. people are just a handful as well in our society if you act a certian way or speak a certain way then you must be upper or lower class...now thats judgemental you say! well it is we expect people with high voices and Dolce and gabanna clothes to be wealthy and articulate while we see a kid with a bogo shirt from walmart and a airwalk shoe brand from payless and we like them to being rednecks. i want to say this week alone opened my eyes the most but it (kinda) didn't i live this life everyday of my life whether i'd like to change or not im given the cards of life and unfortunately i cant shuffle for new ones.
