Readers Write: Student offers example of lack of compassion

The Island Now

 New School student, Rachael Sacks brags about being rich, I find this very sad with all the poverty around. 

Rachael wrote an essay online titled,” I’m not going to pretend that I’m poor to be accepted.” 

That is a true statement, in that one shouldn’t pretend to be someone we are not. But maybe Rachael Sacks should curtail her bragging and use the wealth her father gives her and give to others and volunteer to help those in need. That in my opinion is more of a worthwhile endeavor. 

Remember this too Rachael,” The good of the many out weighs the good of the one.”
