This week has been relaxing. I have not had much work and no test (Thank God). I have just been getting my thoughts together for my English paper. I looked at my mid-term grades, and I am not doing badly at all. I am not where I want to be yet, but with hard work it possible to get there.
My family has been having financial difficulties lately. It’s kind of odd because gas prices are going down, but it is getting even harder to live a comfortable life. This sometimes makes me wonder about the fairness of America. I have been watching the national news lately and listening to the Presidential candidates. The financial crisis is not only affecting those in the corporate world but the middle class world. I would like a President that puts those who work hard mopping floors or waiting tables before those who sit behind a desk and sign checks. They say America offers equal opportunity, but I would definitely disagree. When the wealth help the wealth, who will help those in need?
I think that the nation is slowly crumbling, as is the rest of the world. People forget what our country is about. Everyone is looking out for themselves, when this country was built on the concept of looking out for each other. We should be proud to serve one another, but everyone wants to be on top.
