I Want to Be Rich
I haven't grown up impoverished. My family has always been right in the middle of the middle class. We couldn't afford college, so I had to work hard and earn as many scholarships as humanly possible, which meant sacrificing my social life to study for scholarship worthy grades. Whenever I wasn't studying or writing essays, I dreamed of simply owning enough money to pay my way into my top schools or travel to all of the destinations I have dreamed about. I am a language learner. It is required of language learners to travel! It is within my own nature to travel. The issue is always money. It's always money. How much are the plane tickets? How much are meals, transportation, accommodations and such. I just wish I owned enough money to not be burden with little expenses like that. I don't want to become extravagantly rich, because I don't like to bring so much attention to myself. I would just like a modest amount. Enough to get me a lovely house and car, traveling when I want to, school expenses and better clothes. I only want modest wealth, but it seems so difficult to obtain. I am still in college, but I hope with all my heart that I can use my languages to live comfortably.
