In Class Simulation

In Wednesday's class, the simulation that we did was a real eye-opener for me about what people go through. It's amazing how quickly people can run through money and suddenly find themselves in debt, debt that can build up very quickly over time. I couldn't believe how difficult it was for us to get the money that we clearly needed. There were forms that needed to be filled out and it seemed like those forms could take days to actually finally be filled out. And as Dr. Johnson said, he cut the forms down considerably. In addition, it was hard reading about how hard our woman had to work to find the money that she needed to support her family because her husband was gone and was no longer paying child support.

In the end the simulation was a real eye opener to what people have to go through to try and support themselves and family members
