Blog Post #8

I appreciated learning about all the club on campus, I didn’t realize their were so many. I enjoyed our discussion in class (as I always do). I’m glad we brought up the situation with Chick-fil-a. After class I wondered a lot about why the principal did what she did, everyone in class had a really good opinion. I mean I am all free for freedom of speech, but as far as I’m concerned, if your speaking in a negative way I wouldn’t allow that near anyone I cared about.

This weeks readings is something I had actually been recently thinking about. Did anyone hear about how the UC’s are raising their tuition? I saw it on the news the other day. In the article that asks “where are the poor students?” it’s hard to say. It points out how the increasing tuition is making it difficult for them to even attend. I’m not poor, but I can’t even imagine how hard it must be for those of a low socioeconomic status. I have financial aid and I work and to be honest I find it hard as heck to save my money, I chose between putting gas and getting food sometime because I live in LA. I commute everyday out to Camarillo and Oxnard. Luckily, I have a roof over my head, but not many are as lucky. Reading the article about Williams really moved me because you can possibly walk past someone in a hallway and you would never know that they were poor. You should really try to think twice of how lucky you are.
