Apparently... I am wealthy!
An average person in the world makes $1,700... A YEAR.
Answering the blog that Dr. Preston published a couple of days ago, apparently I am rich. In fact, we all are, or so the global standards say.
It is true. We, as students, don't often get enough time to do simple things like research or think too deeply about anything because we're buried under amounts of work that have deadlines. Our little heads can only handle so much before the stress begins to appear. My little brother, only 6 years old, saw me at the dinner table doing my daily routine of homework, he peeked through the amount of assignments I had stacked on the table (not including any digital ones).
He gasped, "All of this work?" he innocently asked.
I replied with a simple nod.
"One person (me) cant do all of this by themselves!" He argued.
That's just it. An innocent first grader can even point out that high school students like me shouldn't have too much work. But we do it all in order to succeed, if we succeed then we graduate and are capable of getting jobs. But why? Why do we need all of this? For only one reason... money.
Money controls us in ways that shouldn't be allowed, but we all have been brainwashed to believe that quite literally, money is the answer to everything.
