This morning I was taking the usual subway ride to school, When a man entered and testified that he had just left the hospital from having a bout with pneumonia and had lost his job. He needed spare change for something to eat, His testimony was sincere and he had even admitted that he was so desperate that he had come so low to become a begger on the train. He had started to walk across the train car looking into the people's empty faces, Wallet and Purse alike were not open, A train with 30+ plus people, Not one person had offered him at least some spare change. I took the duty to at least give this man a dollar. When he received the money he looked back at me with a confused look as if saying to himself "A child?", A 14 yr old gives him money but not an older person? With a heart felt thank you he gave me some advice. "Go to college." It was not the first time I heard this. I have heard it many times living where I am. But it made me think, That it actually is some very good advice. But it also made me think, Why doesn't everyone go then? And the answer hit very close to my situation...One variable in life can affect someone's life, such as, A child full of potential living in low income housing could get First honors all his life, And still not go to college to care for his aging parents and brother's and sisters. It also made me think about the stereotype's and thoughts people get when looking at some in lower class then them. Like how an idiot with rich parents can go to a good school, and a good college, and get great paying jobs then call themselves hard workers. Hard working is supporting your family and giving up your dreams to care for your parents. Shoo, Think twice, Just think twice, I would write lost more but I forgot half of it and a good TV show is on.
