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.

My entire life, I have wanted nothing more than to go to college & make something of myself. The only form of money I get is the $150 a week pay I get from watching my 2 year old nephew. My parents cannot help me go to school because my mother & stepdad have a $1300 mortgage & have all they can do to pay. My dad & stepmother cannot help because she has type 1 diabetes & needed a kidney transplant & is constantly in & out of the hospital. Now that I have read some of the stories, I am afraid to go to school. But how else am I suppose to make something of myself & be able to build a life for myself? I don’t want to be afraid to make something of myself. I SHOULDN’T be afraid.My entire family & I are the 99%.Occupywallst.org
