Regardung 30 Days

After watching 30 days on minimum wage, made mne feel so sad; that there are so many people working so hard for money yet they gain nothing out of it. Instead most of get sick and spend most of their savings on their medicals bills or on their children. Watching this video actually reminded me of my family, when we first came to U.S. my family had nothing. at first we lived at my uncles place at New York for a month, to settle down and to know how the country or the system works. Around here then my dad went out for job hunting and ended working at kohls i think. I was pretty young back then, but i still remember how hard they worked to bering our family out of poverty. from NY we move to chicago and over here we satyed at one of dad's friends house for $300 a month and later my dad had to work two jobs in the morning and over night at a gas station. we didn't had a tv, bed, couches, dining table, and a car heck we didn't even had a chair to sit on. for first two years it was horrilble i hate it my life. But then man my parents worked so much and all was for me and my brother. My brother and i were the only people taht kept them going on. To make our lives better they made theirs miserable. Later on as the years passed on my dad tried many different jobs even as a taxi driver and my mom would work at walmart as cashier. My dad realized that miminum wage wouldn't be enough to survive in this country so he started searching for a business and well yea i guess u could say that getting a business helped my family get out of poverty but even a business required alot work.. i could say alot more, but yea there no way a person can live a good life on minimum it's almost impossible specially with kids.

Social Classes

It's pretty amazing how people in poverty manage to survive with so less money. When I imagine my self being in poverty, i feel as though i can't survive in such a small world. But when people want to make their lives better by hard work. they are still looked down on either by their families or friends, saying things like u'r trying to b someone u'r not. but the wat i don't understand is that if you can work hard to obtain money or u can make u'r life then, wat's so wrong abt it? i mean u r working for it right?

saturday skoo & LOP jus lik prison....

Hi. when I was watching 30 days in prison, damn i felt as though, i was in prison just by watching or thinking about it. how hard it would be to not do anything you want, basically the rules and everything is made up for you, you don't have to think about anything. Kind of like our school everything here is made up of rules. when watching 30 days in prison it made me feel as though i might end up in jail too. but then again i don't do illegal things, but it reminded me of saturday school and lop. what they do in saturday school is take all the kids lock us in a big room from 8:00 am in the morning till 11:00 am but in the middle around 9:30 am you get a small bathroom break. honestly though kids saturday school most of us can't really do any home work it just so hard when they force us to do. then again they say we don't have to do anything but we have to make it look like we are working and as long as were quite were okay. The thing is that not alot people can do their home work in a saturday morning and to me personally sitting there quiet for 3 hrs in the morning and you can't even sleep, u have to sit and not make a single noise. i think that's like mind torture it's so stupid pointless and every time i go to saturday i end seeing the same people for the stupidest reasons. Same with LOP they make you give up half u'r lunch period and then the student itches to wait for that half period to end and that makes the time go really slow in our lil heads and drives sum of us nuts, but the only good thing is that you can talk in there. unlike saturday school u cannot talk at all unless it really important. so yea jus like prison.
