Something that drastically changed my thinking
When I was little I thought I had the perfect family. Everything was just the way I wanted it to be. We lived in a nice house, surrounded by vast land, loved driving my Barbie charged car around, and my parents were happily married together. At around the age of 13 my parents had problems and my dad no longer trusted my mom financially. I felt my life falling into pieces when that happened. My parents are no longer together and it makes me sad whenever I think about it.
My dad is in Australia right now and my mom is still working even though she is 60 years old. I see my mom struggling and it makes me sad that I can’t help her out right now. This situation drastically changed me because I didn’t have a dad to guide me through my teenage years. I always thought my parents were going to be together forever. But things changed, and I took them for granted when they were together. I wish I would of changed my ways back then when I would be disobedient towards them. My life isn’t the same and I dealt with it for 7 years already. It still hurts inside, but its life. We all have to move forward.

Thoughts on Plagarism
I feel that plagiarism is very wrong. We are all capable of using our own minds to come up with thoughts and ideas for our own work. It’s wrong to steal someone else’s ideas and don’t give them credit for. When a writer writes a book they spend time using their mind to come up with material that they can present for the world. But if another person were to take his or her work, then the person, who originally came up with the material, would have spent the time coming up with the material for no reason. Therefore, I feel that everyone should use his or her own mind and opinions.
Is there difference between racism and classism?
I think that racism and classism have two different meanings but they both have things in common. Racism is when you dislike some one because of their race. When classism is disliking or belittling some one because they are either rich or poor. In a way I feel that yes, they are different, but they are similar. For example, when a person does not like a person who doesn't make a lot of money, they tend to use race with the reason as too. The same goes if a person were to hate a person that did make a lot of money they would tend to use race as a reason as well.
