Lesson 3!


Lesson 3 was really interesting to me.  In this lesson we talked about social class and status.  Mostly where people fit in to that scale, and how class and status usually stay the same throughout generations.
There was one particular example about a lady named Tammy.
Tammy is not particularly well off, is a single mom, and has a lot of struggles.  But something about Tammy really stands out to me, and it is her ability to be so humble, and grateful for the things that she DOES have; like a house, and food to eat.
She also has a job, and in order to get there has to walk 10.5 miles there and back! That's crazy! I complain about walking to class (about .5 miles) and she was walking in the rain singing.  It really made me stop to think about my own life and what I am grateful for and what I should be grateful for.
I am grateful that I live so close to school, and that I even have the opportunity to attend this University.  

This is Tammy's story, in case anyone is interested!

Have a wonderful day :)
