This is a perfect example of how people in our society take things for granted. I have seen kids in my old highschool say things like i hate being at school , or like this is such a waste of time. When ever they would say things like that i would always think of my cousins back in mexico who would kill to be in an american school. They will never have a chance to go to a proper school in mexico and these kids are complaining that they have to go school to begin with. That is why i think alot of people that what they got for granted because they have no idea how some people will never get to expeirience halve the things that we take for granted. This video showed how one kid wnet to school and went on with an ordinary day in his life and then compaired it to the life of the person who made the shoes he was wearing who happened to be the same age but whos life was almost exactly the opposite that of the kid who was wearing the shoes. This had a huge impact on me because before this i never really thought about how the things that i take advantage of can so drasticaly effect the life of someone i dont even know.

    the video refreshed the same ideas in my mind, just how much we do take things for granted.

  2. Angel, this is a very good response. Yeah, we shouldn't take things for granted. I feel very bad for the Asian kid. He works so hard just to earn a little bit of money or just to survive.
    Now, i started to think about where are my stuff came from; i realized that maybe some things that i bought might came from that place where the Asian boy works.
