In the essay Changing American Families by Judy Root Aulette I realized how important class is to some people. While growing up I could tell that some of my friends families had more money than mine but now looking back I realize we were in the lower class. The life I lived though was great to me! I guess some need more than others to be happy. Maybe even that is just what they're used to so they don't know any better. I'm glad we're not all the same. Being different is what makes the world go round in my eyes.
