Guest Speaker

Chris was a great speaker, I think if I was one of the trouble youth his program is directed towards I would have started thinking twice about my lifestyle after hearing him. I knew that Lincoln had a large number of youth homeless, but I didn't really know much more than that. For me, I am more like to see the older homeless males roaming the streets downtown. The pictures that Chris provided in his presentation with the living conditions of runaways were what really made their lives imaginable for me. I can't believe that these runaway teens find themselves living under bridges or in tents in parks. It really made me think about how life with your parents can be so unbearable that you would want to live in crummy conditions in all types of weather. More than anything, I left class thankful that I never got involved with drugs and that I have my family to support me.
