From New Jersey‚ to Texas‚ to New York and back to New Jersey. This was literally my life ever since I was a baby until now.

All they have done have been trying to survive. And in these three paragraphs you will probably figure out that what their life is like‚ is revolting and gruesome. They live in constant fear of not knowing whether they will survive‚ or die trying. They flee from a life where bombs drop over their heads‚ and men rob their homes

It came about because my agent sent me into an audition‚ but what was interesting about this [audition] — I wasn’t interested in going.

This scholarship opportunity would greatly take some burden off of my mother. The financial

I am undeservedly privileged‚ completely unjustifiably privileged. I have not earned this privilege and I won’t pretend that I have because it is solely based on the color of my skin as opposed to the quality of my virtue.

If I had to choose whether to be forever homeless‚ but free to roam the earth as I please or live the life of luxury and be locked in my mansion‚ I would choose to live the life of luxury and be locked in my mansion. First‚ I would have to worry about food or other needs. Homeless people sometimes go days without food or water. I cannot imagine how difficult that would be. If I were homeless‚ I would spend my time roaming the earth for something to eat. I would not have enough money to even travel
