Homelessness

I really liked our guest speaker on Tuesday, he has spoke in one of my classes before and I truly admire what he does.  I think homelessness is a huge problem that a lot people do not think about in Lincoln.  A point that he brought that I thought was very interesting is that a lot of people discriminate against homeless people with out even knowing it.  When we walk by a homeless person asking for change I know a lot of us say "Why dont you just get a job?"  I think we all need to remember that people who are homeless are people too just like us, but they live a very different lifestyle.  We have to remember that these people have not just simply chosen to be homeless, something has gone seriously wrong that they had to turn to that lifestyle.  The presentation made me so thankful for my family and everyone who has and still does support me.
