Growing up in India wouldn't be the worst possible life and I wouldn't run out of activities to do for sure. Although, poverty is a big issue nationwide and needs to be brought to the government's attention. Many families are walking the streets, asking other people for money to buy clothes, a house, and provide a life for their children. After the first day life is surely not the same in India as it is in the United States. Some girls in India aren’t thoroughly educated, females aren’t treated the same as males, a caste system is still existing in certain areas,

    Growing up in suburban, New York as a New Yorker, I always saw that I had some privileges that my white friends did not. Simply, reminiscing, I don’t think it was a good privilege, as you might know! Black people do say the word “Ni***a” – Many of my friends would not dare say that word, because they think it’s like saying the other N word that ends with “ger”; nevertheless, I see that as a privilege as black guy growing up in America.…

    "Hard work, honesty, risk, and competition all must happen for the American Dream of wealth, marriage and family, home and prosperity, and social mobility to become reality." This is what we as Americans have ingrained in our heads as how to become happy. The American Dream is not a set rule of guidelines that guarantees success when attempted. It is not 2+2=4. There are numerous books in the world today "spilling the secret to success". They are however just a regurgitation of how one person became successful. To truly become successful, one needs the true American Dream, not some sweeping generalization that seems to have filled everyones minds. The True American Dream is much more simple, and still, does not have a guaranteed product…

My little town where I’d grown up, made friends, and built memories was, to say the least, completely un-diverse.…
