My Story

Homeless

Everyone always sees the homeless on the street holding up signs saying all sorts of things and then you or your siblings or parents just drive right past them. Sometimes you hardly notice, and sometimes you feel so bad you can't turn away thinking should I have helped? Well the answer is yes and no. Let me explain. One day I was sitting in the car eating a scumptious chocolate bar (thats the only part that rhymes). I had just gotten back from the dentist and vistiting my grandfather (Poppy) at his office as I was eating the pantry he held in his hands. Plus I had a toothbrush in the other hand that I would never use. As my mom stopped the car at the nearest light, I noticed a stranger (a homeless man) walking around in between cars and roads holding up a sign saying ANYTHING YOU GIVE ME I WILL TAKE. The red light turned out to be forever long. Without thinking I gently pushed down the window and stuck out my toothbrush hoping the man would see it. Nobody was watching me, but I guess the stranger wasn't either. Of course we eventually left the man and the light. I felt so bad and couldn't stop looking at the man. I felt downhearted and like a balloon that was going to pop and blow up, but I didn't. A couple days later I observed two homeless men laying down with their well fed dog in a little tunnel drinking beer. I thought how awful!! Their was a basket a little closer to the road we were on and a sign was there in it sayng PLEASE HELP US BY GIVING BEER OR DOG FOOD. It's so terrifing seeing those who know the important things like clothes, doctors, shelters, and food and not those who think beer is whats going to get them far in life. I really hope you've enjoyed my website and my story and I really hope that you've learned the i mportants things in life.
