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.

I am 21 years old.

I am currently $15,000 in student debt and climbing each day.

When the economy tanked, Chase Bank sold off all of their federal student loans to a collection agency. Said collection agency made me pay back on my student loans while still in school at $450 a month. I am currently reaching the end on a 6th month deferment and will have to resume payment soon.

I have stopped going to college. I am too scared to rack up more debt and have no faith in the economy to find a job if I graduate.

I am currently living with family and working at a diner, part-time and minimum wage.

I am the 99%
