Blogger 3 - Poverty

A social problem that we have going on among our society would be poverty. Many people can't provide for their families. Minimum wage jobs don't help at all! I personally know someone who can't afford to buy his children uniform for school, he goes to a church to get free clothes for himself, his wife, and their children. It's a really sad situation but unfortunately many more people go through the same problem.

 I have this other friend who lives in a studio apartment with her three children. It's really hard for her to provide for the children. All her kids are either one year or two years apart. She had a job but she was paying the babysitter more then half her paycheck a week. She eventually ended up quitting! Even though  she's using government assistance she wants to be independent.  Not only does poverty affect the adult but it also affects their children.

The reason why I chose to write about poverty is because not only do I know people who are struggling but is also a common problem in our society. Writing about poverty remind me of all those poor children in Tijuana selling gums, candies even juggling balls to entertain the people that are coming back to California to get money. Those kids work from young to take bread to the table.
