14. Please describe your reactions/ideas to the following quote: "He does not possess wealth, it possesses him."
I actually agree with this statement because the reason why we are taking AP/IB is to get in a better university and the reason why we want to go into a better university is to get a better education and the reason why we want a better eduction is to get a better job ultimately resulting in more money. So money controls most of our actions towards eductation. However some people will do anything to get as much money as possible. I see America as a giant rat race for more money where friendships can be destroyed by money. A perfect example would be when a person has to move to a different city due to his job moving in that case his job possesses him but what are jobs for? My reaction towards this quote is that is very accurate but unfortunate that this does not only apply to greedy, money-hungry people but even to students.
