If you haven't seen this Youtube video yet, please watch it. One of my professors of a documentary class that I'm taking sent it to me. It's a very real, timely, and touching documentary about how the economic situation is affecting students in Pomona, CA. I think it's important for people like myself, who come from economically stable (thankfully) families and are attending prestigious universities, to remember to relate to and try to help people who are not in the same fortunate situations. Seeing this only further reinforces my decision to volunteer with City Year in Boston next year...(http://www.cityyear.org)
