Social Class

            Most of us usually never hang out with people from different social class than us.  We stay around our whole lives or we move to different areas much like the area we live in now.  We don’t get an opportunity to see what is like to be different than our friends.  We don’t know what’s like to have a complete different life than the life we have now.  Most people that live around us earn more than the national income average.  We also don’t go out of our way to meet other people from a low-income family.  That makes people stay where they are in the social class.  People don’t try to move up because they don’t know how too.  My family however, took a different rout.  My grandpa did have a lot of money but my dad tried to make it on his own.  As a result, I didn’t grow in a great place like this.  I lived in many worst circumstances.  I used to hang out with people that literally had nothing.  They struggled so much just to get through the day.  I think that was a great experience to me.  I learned what it was like to have very little money.  I met people who wanted to build up like my dad did but had no opportunity to.  I believe if people didn’t care what social class they were on, and hung out with each other, there would be a great increase in the number of people who jumped out the bottom class to maybe middle class and higher.
