#6. Life is "Good"
I live nearly 50 feet away from the Davis Senior High School. This is what I usually see in the morning between 7:15AM to 7:55AM: Kids jump out of Mercedes, BMWs, Hummers, Jaguars, Lexus and other big ass SUVs. Life is not bad!

I visited GuangZhou, China in May. My dad and I were on our way to the gym, I saw this on the sidewalk:
"My College Dream. Dear ladies and gentlemen: How are you! Maybe it is rare to see my type of begging! If you trust me, please help me. I can never ever imagine this kind of cruel misfortunate happened to me. My father passed away a year ago; later, my mother abandoned us. I am forced to drop out due to financial problems.

My father left me at age 15, my mother cannot afford college although she works overtime. I am forced to find my own way to pay for college, and I am doing okay without resorting to begging.
