I am four people in one and these are my answers:

Um, I don’t know.

Put a smile on my face and see if it sticks just like I did all the other times I lost everything.

We came with nothing we leave with nothing so what difference does it make if I lose everything?

She is cute what is her phone number?

This is sad. Do people realize there are people in this world who have NOTHING. Not even 12 cents for medication to prevent them from dying from diseases? People walk miles all day in parts of the world to sell wood in order to help feed their family. Much less go to college. It sickens me–why must I be a US citizen?

I find it interesting that you went to “the drag” in Austin to ask people this question. Most of the students that you interviewed were probably UT students who have no idea what it is like to loose everything, but it was interesting to hear their responses once you got them to think about it. There were probably some other demographics that I would be interested to hear from in Austin and since I am here maybe I will continue this and post some more responses. I am happy to know about the Recess Ends and think that it will be greatly supported in Austin once it is released!
