Is it worth it? Everyday there are people out there take the life they have for advantage. Other people wish they could have what others do not appreciate. For example, students in the United States receive a free education from preschool to the 12th grade, but students in other countries have to pay for their education that may be half as educating as the one in the United States. However, the U.S. students still do not appreciate the education and complain. What the other students would do for the same education is unimaginative.

With this type of estimate it seems like Angela was three times the person that Cheri was. What if Cheri was actually the better person? Whoever decided the estimate are not looking at how it makes the family feel that the person thought Cheri was not as important as Angela. Once again there is another unfair factor to …show more content…
Not all the time but most times they do, there has been million of cases that this has happened. Someone can be at the wrong place at the wrong time. Steve Jobs says in his speech to a graduating class of Stanford University, “Yor time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life” (71). A person can still not know what they want to do in the future or have a solid plan but all of a sudden their death comes. It is unjust of that life of theirs being calculated when they haven’t reached their full perspectives. Then younger people are worth less than the older ones because they have less belongings and don’t have a retirement plan since they did not expect to die that early.
