"The Entitled Generation"

In my short lifetime of 21 years, I have overcome a lot of of odds.
I am African American.
I am a female.
I am from a low-income household, who was effected terribly by the recession.
I am from a single-parent family with an absent father.
I put myself through school working up to 3 jobs at one time.
I am college educated.
I have a full time job
And finally, I am 100% financially independent.
I have done all of this on my own and have asked no one for anything.
I don't feel that anyone owes me anything and have worked hard for all I had.

For a woman in my Master's level to claim that everyone in my generation believes that they are entitled is an insult. Our generation is full of some great people. The negative attitudes of a few interns or entry-level workers should not influence a person's perception of a whole generation. I would think that a professional in a class for those that are, inspire to be, or have been human resource managers. I guess some people, no matter how educated they are, don't see all side of a situation. They want to think what they want to think. They want to downplay and believe the worst in other people. The fact is just so sad.
