AMERICA: Anti-Life and Pro-Survival

We live in a country that’s anti-life and pro-survival. I know you ask why sum up the United States like that, well I have my reasons and many other Americans would say the same. In a day in time where we are told to get an education, its okay if you make a mistake, everybody would get their fair share “it’s enough to go around” and so on. However, on the contrary that’s not the reality we live, or at least I can speak for me. Having chased, ran, and sometimes crawled to go after my dreams to live that ultimate American dream I must say I find fault. I graduated three years ago with my Bachelors in Public Relations, and just this past November received my MBA, I can say to you that I have not worked one full time job! I have not worked in my field of study or nowhere near it! But I can say I have had a job at a wing shop; or janitorial cleaning; and even got used by small business owners, who lied just to get quality work and I received little to no money. No, really little to know money or if you consider 200 dollars a month to sustain your life, go figure… Not being an adult with a family you can’t live like that. We survive because this is not living when you don’t have enough to pay this bill or that bill or lead alone able to pay your monthly living expense. When life becomes a bargain as to what will I eat today or should I use this money to put gas in my car, not what I had in mind nine years when I graduated from high school. We survive when we can’t go home to visit family because you either don’t have a job to supply you with the funds to make those life moments happen, or you working and the job won’t give you a break to even spend that time. Yea, I hear you, I know everyone don’t go home for the holidays or understand the essence of working to make life work, hell after all its apart of life. Well, I say to you when it has happen to you for years at a time it becomes a problem, and even family struggling to make it, so you can’t expect help from them. We survive when you are doing everything right and when you look around seems as though everything wrong is affecting you, but the drug dealer, the killers, cons and crocks across the nation are glorified for the living they are doing. What messages is America sending? I mean because I have nothing wrong with the way people are living their life after all its their's, and I've done my fair share throughout my 26 years, but who wants to live evil when good is so rewarding or at least I thought, because that’s what America lead you on to believe?! I want to live and so many other fellow Americans do too. Working your heart out to dedicating all you have to a better tomorrow with aspirations, visions, and big dreams; How do we live? How do we sustain our life and get what we deserve? I have degrees', an arrest record, no convictions, but, yes still no job. I ask this questions to CEO’s, Exec’s, Small business owners, Political leaders, Church leaders, and anyone who is in a position to create positive change for the surviving American. The American who just want to live well, not asking for a handout, many Americans work hard like myself to set themselves up for a better life. The Questions is WHAT DO WE DO? WHO DO WE GET HELP and OPPORTUNITY FROM? AMERICA, oh AMERICA WHERE ARE YOU WHEN WE NEED YOU? We believed in YOU; Do you Believe in US?
