We are the 99 percent. We are getting kicked out of our homes. We are forced to choose between groceries and rent. We are denied quality medical care. We are suffering from environmental pollution. We are working long hours for little pay and no rights, if we're working at all. We are getting nothing while the other 1 percent is getting everything. We are the 99 percent.

Together, my parents used to make >$36,000 a year. Now they are both unemployed, with two little ones in the house. I went to a $52,000 a year private college to better my life and move out of my small town in the Midwest with NO jobs. When I graduated May 2011, I moved thousands of miles away from my beloved family, to South Korea, for the year because it was the only place I knew I could find work. Next year I will go to graduate school… What then??? We are the 99%.
