I am 23 years old. I have no job, no viable work history, no current professional references. I was kicked out of my Aunts due to money and space problems. A friend took me in for a while, but she and her roommates barely get by with part time jobs and unemployment. I am not eligible for unemployment and have to rely on $200 in food stamps to survive. I want to be able to contribute, but I cannot unless I find a job without experience. I can’t stay at my friends forever. I would be in school, but I cannot afford it. I am not eligible for grants and I do not dare take out loans in this economy without a job. My life is real, my problems are real. I have a voice. I will not be silent any longer. I am part of the majority, I am the 99%.
