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.

Since Kindergarten I’ve been asked what I want to be when I grow up. It used to be a ballerina, a scientist, a veterinarian, a teacher, a chef. Now I’m in college, and all I want to be when I grow up is EMPLOYED.  I am the 99%, and I deserve a future just as much as the 1%.  This last year I’ve had to fight to stay in school, helping my mother battle cancer on a budget that we barely make it by with, and we’re the lucky ones. But now even college won’t secure future employment. How is anyone supposed to get ahead? occupywallst.org
