#1 React for "30 Days"

I didn't know that America had such number of people who are suffering with poverty. America IS one of the richest countries in the world then why ar ethere so many poor people? Money is not everything but it is a big part of our lives that we need. In the show "30 Days" I saw in class, it showed how difficult to work minnimum wage. Minnimum wage workers maku only about $50 a day and it seems like a good deal for students like me but for the serious workers, not at all. They work a full day and they only get paid about $50. I cannot imagine if I would have to do that because I am going to have to pay for the rent, food, and everything. From this show, I convinced how happy I am right now, I mean, wasting food, money, everything I do, I feel guilty. Also I do not understand why the US Gov. treats poor people so badly. They are the citizens of the US, they should help them out.

#2 What if I could live by myself near the school, like some of my friends?

I had always wished I could live by myself near the school so I won't have to spend 2 hrs all the way from my house to school everyday. But the problem is, what am I gonna eat? Who is gonna do my laundry? I'll be watching TV all alone everyday? Then I though, it might be tough for me. I wont be able to learn the importance of the family unless I leave them for a while. So if I do that for 30 days and when 30 days has passed, I'll be like "Home Sweet Home!"
