Reading

I enjoyed the reading “People Like Us” from class the most. When I started to read it, my first thought was, “Why is this article so long and why is the vocabulary so difficult?” However, after reading it, I liked the article a lot. The article made me think about my friends, and how they are mostly similar to me in education and background. Since I am a college graduate, most of my friends are also college graduates. An interesting part of the article is the author says if you chose 12 friends randomly from all Americans, the odds are 6/1000 for half of them to be college graduates. Though this reading, I learned that most Americans (and I) probably don’t know many people from other backgrounds.
