So I was in English and we were talking about getting into college, or pretty much repeated the same shit we do every day, and this one girl started going on about how us rich kids from westchester have a disadvantage because the colleges know their rich and can get help with their applications.
At this, I laughed outloud.
And then immediately appoligized for laughing, and right after the girl called me rude and looked shocked. So I had to explain myself, and explain to the class that there is no disadvantage when you can pay for five SAT classes and a tutor for every subject and someone else to write your college essay. My teacher, avoiding conflict, said there were pros and cons and ran away from the conflict.
What I didn't say was that some kids can't pay for those classes. Some kids are trying to do homeowork in between jobs so they can pay for college in the first place.
