speaker

When I first heard that we where going to have a speaker I thought that I would be bored out of my mind and the speaker talking about things I learned in high school health class. Thank goodness that this was not the case. I learned so much from this guy, like how people actually become homeless. Most of the time it has to do with something going on in the family, drugs, alcohol, or mental illness. I think that, that is so sad that these people run away thinking they can fix there life but keep falling down. Something else he talked about was how much drugs plays a part in homelessness, especially meth. These people just get so addicted to it and will do anything to have it. And what it does to your body just makes me sick. People will get the crank bugs and just pick away at there skin. Another thing that really struck me was the way he talked about the homeless, as that we treat them less that humans. When he said that it struck a cord, sometimes I think I do and who am I to do that? So from now on I vow never to run away from home, and to put humanity in front of everything.
