Once again The New York Times is seeking essays about money, work, social class, and related topics from current high school seniors.
If your own essay seems to fit the bill, and you wouldn't mind having it published for all the world to see, go to: http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/your-money/2016-College-Essay-Callout.html?_r=2
Not surprisingly, the NYT folks get plenty of submissions about what it's like to be poor, but they're still looking for a home-run example about what it's like to be rich!

@Soheils --Sorry; that was just me having some fun. That "essay" doesn't go any further than what you can see in the home page excerpt. But feel free to add a few paragraphs so that you can have some fun, too. :-)
Anyhow, even though it was short, it was entertaining. Thanks!
I wish I could write an essay about being rich lol.

I was a poor student once and I'm still feeling bad for it.
