Living in Two Worlds by Marcus Mabry

This piece really touched me. I myself have the same feelings when it comes to education. There really are two different worlds.
I love the way how Marcuz Mabry shows the two different worlds. He shows the world the boy has in education where everything is easy. The boy doesn't have any type of burden. Then he shows the world of the boy's home.
The world of the boy's home was different. People in his family seemed to be struggling. The fact that he couldn't help them really made a connection with me.
I have family members like my mother who fight everyday to make sure I get what I need. And in school I have no burdens, life is much easier. Another feeling that I connected with was that the boy still kind of felt responsible of how his family was struggling. I can see where the boy was coming from. It's not your fault because education is important, but you do realize that they have to sacrifice something to benefit you. Like the boy in the essay I myself have two worlds.
