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 20 years old 

-Recently moved to my country of birth, Brazil, in seek of opportunity;

-In the US I faced a lot of discrimination for being Brazilian;

-I graduated in the top 1% of my class and my only choice in continuing my studies would be to move back to Brazil, because my mom didn’t have  the money to keep me in the school;

-She is in a lot o debt due to not having health insurance and having to make monthly visits to the hospital to treat her back;

-Surprisingly in Brazil I face the same differences that a lot of my American friends and the whole population is facing: debt, unemployment, government corruption, pollution and the lack of support in my studies;

-I am in my second semester  of college studying music production. I have rent to pay, I have to eat and help my parents in paying the school while being UNEMPLOYED;

-Brazil is a growing country and those in the front seat, are the same corrupt politicians, bankers who have created the same damage in the US.
