this past week we have been talking about social class. we watched the movie about the lady who lives in Ohio and works at burger king. this story was touching but i cant help to see how she can help herself. she doesnt have an education and grew up in a house with 21 other brothers and sisters. obviously she is at a disadvantage but she has to take steps to help herself. an experience i had with poverty was when i went down to the projects of chicago. it was a very humbling experience and i really enjoyed getting to see another side of life in the very bottom of the social rung. i was scared when i first got there but once i warmed up to the people i noticed that they were not much different than i was. i worked with them all day serving food and playing games with little kids. by the end of the day i was tired and ready to go home but i would definitely go back some day.
