Going to the banquet yesterday it really opened my eyes to see how other people live. When I walked in I was given a card that showed me were I was to sit. I saw that people were being put into different areas of the room. Some people were sitting at nice tables with chairs and some were places on the floor.  I was with the low income population so I had to sit on the floor. My card told me that I was a 40 year old women who worked on a farm in Haiti. There was an area with middle class  families and hight class families. Everyone had a different background story for why they were in their specific class.

At the end when we got to eat it wasn’t what I was expecting it to be. Those of the high income class got to have wine, salad and chicken. The middle income class got to eat pasta with a little bit of butter, a piece of bread and water. And the Low income class, which was me, only had rice and beans, not even a drink of water. This was really eye opening to see that this is actually how people today live. Not everyone can get full course meals or even a drink of water. It showed me to stop taking what I have for granted and to really look at what I have in life because not everyones life is that great, some people don’t even get enough food to feed themselves let alone their families.
