Economy Forum

Today, we went to the Economy Forum. It was about how the economy crisis affect the youths today. We had small groups to discussed how the economy affect our family, friendship, food and education… Even though I am not really affected by the economy crisis, but I knew there are a lot more peers around me are suffering this. And some of them gave us a brief presentation about what they concern or how they feel about it. During the economy forum, we had a couple of young people who already had kids to raise. And all of them only graduated from high school, then went to work because of the living needs. Obviously, they had hard time to go through this, not only they lack of education, but also they need more time to take care of their “family”. At the end of the forum, one of my classmate interview a young mother. What she said proved me again that education is the power, it is kinda like the symbol of the MONEY. The more education you get, the more money you get paid. That’s how the realistic world works.
