The subreddit r/AMA is one of my very favorite places on the whole entire world wide web. There, users who've had interesting and unique life experiences invite people to "Ask Me Anything." When I browse through these conversations, I'm always coming across perspectives threads that I'd never considered before.
Unlike the echo chambers I find in many other social media channels, these r/AMA threads teach me things, give me new empathy for people who seem very different than me on paper, and change how I think about the world around me. Here are some of the most interesting questions and answers from the thread: 2. Q : You got in using a scholarship.
Does that also cover uniform expenses and/or extracurricular classes like band? A : Yes, my uniform was paid for, and so were trips. Extracurriculars were free (I played soccer and did theater), but specific classes cost money (like an afterschool cooking class, and I just didn't enroll in those). They probably would've covered that cost anyway, though.
3. Q : What was the most "rich" thing you saw from your classmates while there? Something they did to make you realize, "Yeah, they definitely have disposable income." A : Offering to take my ENTIRE soccer team and other friends and family to an all-expenses paid trip to Disneyland via their private jet over spring break.
There were people whose families owned multiple Ferraris, Porsches, luxury motorcycles, etc. One guy would drive a different one each day to school. As for clothe.
