My life is pretty good.  I will go out on a limb and say that I'm blessed.  Sure, I'm no millionaire or anything, but from the outside looking in, I think I'm making it.  But in these times of plenty, let us not forget......the hard times.

I remember having to sew my shoes back together in school because my mom didn't have the money to buy new ones and I didn't want to burden her. 

I remember Christmas mornings when I wouldn't get anything from anybody.

I remember living in Atlanta in an apartment with no electricity and living off  of Taco Bell and Little Debbie Oatmeal pies.

I can go on and on, but I won't.  I want to hear about you guys.  Any of you ever had to struggle?  Share with the class, please.
