My parents were migrants from Haiti coming from families that were not impoverished but also not well off. My father came here young in the 80s, being able to adjust and learn how to survive and live in this country. Everything that he has and own was built from the ground up.

The SES of my family growing up in a single parent home was the working class…

such as; social class, age, race/ethnicity, and gender. Social class is determined based on the social and economic status one holds, for example, a McDonalds cashier would be part of the working class while a CEO of a mining company would be in the upper class.

There are many structures and systems in the human body that allow us to function, the human foot and hand for example. The hand and foot are a symbol for the ability to work for many people. Without these structures on the human body, the human race would not have had the ability to be where it is today. But what makes up the hand and foot,…

This job can be unpredictable with clients as well as with judges and that is something that…
