A new experience
My parents always told me you don't know how lucky you really are. And I am know realizing I had no clue, going to school here I always have in the back of my mind the feeling of wanting more, watching shows on MTV with nice cars and huge houses I want it! Until we started learning about the lower class I was aware that there was people living in poverty but I didn't realize their struggle they live through daily. When I thought I had a bad day I didn't realize there is people out there who have a bad life, as some students express its there fault that they are in poverty but my opinion has changed! Your life is what you have been born into its not your fault its just the way it is... So maybe lending out a helping hand is more appreciated then we thought.

I know exactly how you feel! We've been raised always looking up at what we don't have instead of concentrating on how much we DO have. Until this week, I think most people in our class really didn't understand how lucky we truly are.
ReplyDeleteyou both are lucky to realize at your age how much you have to appreciate. Work to keep that perspective so that you can be grateful of your lives, lest you lose perspective and go back to wanting all those things you don't have and not appreciating what you do have.
