In class Exercise

In class yesterday we played a games were we simulated that we were low income families struggling to live comfortable. I thought the exercise was great. It showed how hard it could be for low income families to get around in today's world. In my group our family was a single mom with three kids. The mother worked in the hospital and was being being minimum wage. As a young man who never knew what that felt like I was surprised at how hard and tough it is for these families. It's sad that there's families out there that are just not getting the help needed to live at least comfortably. The exercise really helped show how it is an everyday struggle for these families to survive.
