Nickle and Dimed

Wal- Mart worker, Nickel and Dimed.  Image from google.
Out of everything we have read in this class thus far, Nickel and Dimed is my favorite.  I think it's a great book for freshman students to read, because it's motivating and it makes a person want to do something with their life.  It's pretty much saying that this is how you're going to live if you don't attend college.  College is very overwhelming at first, but reading this book actually made me feel reassured about my decision to come here. My hard work will pay off in the end so I don't have to be working low-end jobs, and living in motels, and not knowing when my next meal will be, hopefully.  I haven't even finished the book yet and I'm very impressed. I'm excited to see how this novel will end.
