I Didn’t Know That Middle-Class Exists

I always knew there were really poor people because my parents have always done a lot of charity, but it took me a while to realize that the middle class exists. It sounds stupid when I put it that way. Still, it simply didn’t click that just because someone has a relatively nice house and doesn’t need charity to survive, that doesn’t mean they can take two months to do an unpaid internship in a foreign city (a fact which was rightfully but still bitterly thrown in my face by a friend).
