We Are the 99 Percent

We are the 99 percent. We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we're working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.

I’m sixteen and I live with my mother and her wonderful girlfriend, who saved me from a neglectful father. My mother suffers seizures as the result of medical malpractice, and the doctors refuse to admit their mistakes. I’m covered by my father’s insurance, but my mother is goes without, since she and her girlfriend cannot legally marry. She was wrongfully denied disability.

Two of my siblings are already under tens of thousands of dollars of debt from student loans.

My dream is to go to law school.

My dream is too expensive. My future is a huge ‘what if?’.
