61. Economy


Something that is happening in the world that concerns me would probably be the economy. So many people lost their jobs a few years back when everything crashed and burned. I remember all of the people I knew who had a move to smaller houses or sell some of their things because money issues got so bad. At the time I thought it was only a temporary crisis and that everything would go back to normal. I was clearly wrong considering our economy is just as shitty today. It is extremely hard for anyone to find a job these days. At my old middle school and high school they had to let a ton of teachers go because they could not afford to have them any longer. My old middle school doesn’t offer art or chorus any more and they are getting rid of all of the sports teams. Busing is also being taken away so parents will have to drive their children to school. I feel bad for my little brother and sister because all of this is happening and they are stuck dealing with the consequences of it all. Gas prices are so high right now. I think I heard they are over four dollars or at least close to that amount. That is just crazy. Basically I won’t be taking any joy rides this summer just for the fun of it.  I really hope in the near future that our economy improves and things can go back to how they used to be.
