So as I type this, I type this from my pretty Mac laptop computer. I'm listening to my nationally recognized teachers talk about the AP Government test I will be taking tomorrow in my own room surrounded by all my stuff. Yeah, I'm apart of upper middle class. Everything I do and say reflects the class I'm in, I'm not afraid to say it. Do I wish it was different, yes, but it's true. Now I don't really want to get into specifics about what my family owns and how that represents ( I don't really want to cross a line and reveal too much) but I can tell you the places we eat, the cars we drive and the decor of our house reflects our status. Our cars a pretty modern, when we eat out we go to sit down restaurants and we may or may not have a flat screen... or two. Sal said you can tell a lot about a person about the bread they eat. I guess I could see how that is true. Here's something exciting for all you reading my blog, I eat Ultra thin 100% whole wheat bread, it costs roughly $4.50 per pack. Yeah kinda expensive, but it's good for you. And my family is willing and able to pay a little more for healthy food. I can't remember what class it was, I think it was soc. where the family had to sacrifice their health for food. I remember we were watching Food Inc. in AP Environmental Science, and this family could only afford Burger King, and now the children were overweight and the father had type two diabetes. So i totally think it's true, the bread you eat does reflect what class your in. They were lower class and they ate fatty, greasy hamburger buns. I, apart of upper middle class, eats 100% whole wheat bread. The little things are the biggest indicators.
