Growing up in a wealthy family I never had much to do with poor people. I lived in a beautiful community where nearly everyone was well off and lived in large single family homes on acre lots. I went to a private school with other rich kids and never had a part time job.
Now I am on my own and going to college at a local community college. I am working part time at a local 7-11 store. What an experience! The grave yard shift at 7-11 is really interesting. Our store has got the same cast of characters who come in for smokes and beer every night. Lots of poor people making poor choices. We also get lots of lonely folks who want someone to talk to and I am open to their conversation. The stories they tell me!
Meeting my fellow students at the local Community College and working at the 7-11 store on a graveyard shift is an eye opening experience and lets me know more how the other half live. Moderator cut: delete
My parents were so sad I did not do well in High School and could not get into the elite college they went to, but maybe it was for the best.
