The Simple Life

Everybody remembers that show with the two famous blonde girls; Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. They seemed like those “it” girls surviving off daddy’s money. But after watching them make a difference in people’s lives and hearing their stories, the poor got richer and the rich got poorer. I think upper class people can only go through what Paris and Nicole experienced. I find it annoying how adults are making their children believe money is everything and to look down on those below them. I’m not saying miracles are possible but if people are able to experience the tougher side of life maybe we can stop the prejudice between different classes. When I was 12 years old, I went to an orphanage with my mom. My mom volunteered to teach the kids about pharmacy. I didn’t want to go at all. I wanted to be at the mall with my friends. But when I got there I wanted to slap myself for thinking all those things. These kids were working 10 times as hard just to pay for a toy.
