[Joanne30570]

Wow, I’ve been dying for somone to ask a question like that. I don’t know what ‘class’ I fit into. I grew up in a family with a mercedes, two homes, pretty comfortable. But my grandmother’s parents told her she had to work in the fields rather than go to high school. I was pressured to go into a career that had nothing to do with my personality. So, in order to come clean, I determined I’d cut myself off from family money, and make it work on my own. Not only have I been homeless, waitressed, worked retail, driven a beater car, worked 60 hour weeks or more for many years, but you would not believe the hostility I got from co-workers who think I don’t deserve to work or follow my dream just because I stand up straight, and speak in (mostly) grammatically correct sentences. People make too much of a big deal out of ‘class’. I agree with the person who said, ‘It’s a great thing to have a beautiful mind, and better still to have a beautiful heart.’
