ML 37 > -I only went to private schools since I was young. Most of my friends were pretty rich, and their parents were doctors, lawyers, or professors, etc. Thus, until sixth grade, I thought that doctors, lawyers, or professors were very common jobs and that most people in my neighborhood were rich. Yet, in seventh grade, I encountered a little child in front of a public elementary school. I just met him by chance, I do not remember how we met; but it is certain that he was a pretty poor kid. He could not eat lunch because his family could not offer the money for cafeteria food, and his clothes were mostly hand-me-downs. I do not remember the job of his father, but I am sure that it wasn't one of the prestigious jobs. This is when I realized that I have been naive, and that I have taken too many things for granted. My perception of the world, that there are not many poor people in the world and most kids are happy, completely changed after meeting this boy.
