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 did everything right. I got good grades, stayed out of trouble, and followed the advice of my parents, who between them have 4 college degrees. On my dad’s side of the family, I’m the first girl to graduate high school, let alone go to University. My mom remarried, had another kid, and has been unable to work. My dad also lost his job because his degree is obsolete. I have no insurance, cannot find a job while in school, and am looking at minimum of $40,000 of debt after I graduate. I have a genius IQ, I did everything right, and my future does not look bright.

I AM THE 99%
