We've all heard of the one child per household rule that applies in many overcrowded countries such as China. When you are that second child, what happens to you? The twenty year old dreams of one day going to school and being like all of the other kids but she is that second child and because of this has no identity. She was an unexpected and unplanned for baby but her parents decided to go on with the pregnancy and now she is paying the consequences. Along with not being able to attend school she also is not covered under any medical insurance and her parent's only way to avoid this is by paying a fine of $820.00 in which they cannot afford. Education is something many people often take for granted, and complain about. Maybe you should think about that next time you walk into your school building.
