Personal Narrative: My Homeless Project
This week the locations that I researched were places, areas, and environments, we will help out with. Also, I drove around town and found a couple of parks where homeless people live. Really soon, these parks that I found we will hand out bags of food containing sandwiches, fruits and bottles of water. The homeless we assume need help with food and clothing to survive, so to achieve our goal is to help them out one step at a time. The progression of this project is quite difficult because of David and I schedules are different, so we will make plans to meet each other to progress on our project. The motives that we need to accomplish next week are giving out our hand crafted bags of food. Some ideas we need to plan are our schedules and anything

    Known as the “City of Trees” for its abundance of greenery, my hometown of Sacramento, California could also be called the “City of the Homeless”. There are staggering numbers of homeless Sacramentans and a significant amount of people who lack consistent access to nightly shelter. On any given night, the homeless population of Sacramento County totals nearly 2,700 people (www.sacramentostepsforward.org), and this number is on the rise.…

    I am one of the 220,000 that are homeless each and every night in Australia. Us as homeless people, we don’t really get seen as ‘’positive’’ people, we’re mostly seen as negative. A way we can be seen as positive, is if we as homeless people that have turned our life around successfully or if we are recorded giving to anther homeless who needs it more and is uploaded to Facebook or any social media. Which isn’t regular as we don’t often get fed most nights.…

    Another challenge we discussed was the obstacle of finding homeless people in the streets and what we would do with excess donations/clothing. We understand that we will not just find homeless individuals anywhere in the streets especially on cold days So we decided prior to coming out to hand our care packages we will note and create routes based on where we have seen homeless staying in the past. We will also have contacted a homeless shelter in order to donate any excess…

    Mrs. Davis said, “Absolutely, this morning I was getting ready for my meeting when I heard what happened to Katherine and saw you guys over. I tried to get someone else to take the meeting and couldn’t find anyone willing to do it. When I came home, I called the police department to tell them about the man in the backyard. They told me to wait until you came back and tell you about the homeless man. He is probably the murderer.” Pointing her finger toward the detective, Mrs. Davis added.”Kathy was my friend.”…

    A life in the ghetto is no life at all. Especially in Molesville, Pennsylvania, a town left in the dust by modern society. Ever since I can remember my mother has been sick, this terrible place is the cause. With little sanitation the streets are rat infested and the poor die young. We had not had enough money, when my father left us, to afford food to live with, let alone go get help from a doctor. After my mother’s pregnancies she gradually became more and more sick. I thought my mother was in pain from the way she sat on her bed constantly crying. That theory was proven one day when her will to fight died. She transformed into a being of hatred. Her heart turned as black as the night. She was different, the mother I once knew dead. Although I knew she was still there, deep, deep down waiting for me to rescue her from herself. In almost an instant I decided the only way to save her was to earn the money for…

    Homeless people all around the world are starving and nobody is doing anything about it. Homelessness is defined as a person who "lacks a fixed, regular, and adequate night-time residence." (Cite)They are starving because of the poverty in the world, the whole world's population as we know it, and community's pretending not to see it happening . Poverty is a big thing that affects homelessness in the U.S (cite) . The population increases every day and that makes the world more populated and creates more homeless people. The community pretends that they do not see people and just let them die right in their faces Worldwide, homelessness is caused by a breakdown in traditional family support systems, continued urbanization, the effects of structural adjustment programs, civil wars, and natural disasters.

    It was one evening when i was walking down the street and i saw a homeless man. He was asking for money for the past few days. I walked on the opposite side of the street that he was on because i didn't have any money to give to him and i had a feeling that he was going to do something to me. I saw him look at me and he started to come my way. I heard him yell “Hey kid wait” so i panicked and i started running as fast as i could and i ran till i couldn't see or hear him I also took some turns so he wouldn't follow me home. The next day i was coming from my friends house and i passed by the same place so i check if he was still there but i didn't see him so i relaxed and started walking but soon i crashed into someone i looked up to say sorry…

    The action plan has to do with my partner and I informing students about World hunger. On how amazingly it’s grown. The plan is to inform students and families in our communities on how people around the world, different communities and even neighbors go to sleep hungry. We want to make them realize that the more food there is the more the hunger there is. We plan on doing a bake sale and selling many goodies such as brownies, cookies, cupcakes and even sundaes! It may not be a big event but that little donation could help feed a few empty stomachs. We plan on donating to Food banks, Shelters, and missions in our own community. We chose our community because its one step at a time and what better than helping those around us in need. Another thing is that we are also making ribbons to support the cause. The ribbons we will make will be orange and yellow we will be giving them out during our presentations. They are going to represent how even with a little donation or a can of food you helped someone go to bed with a full tummy and a smile on their face. We also created an article that explains on how people suffer from hunger. We are hoping that these articles we wrote would help parents and students realize on how we should be thankful that we have a good meal everyday. We hope to impact people with our project and to help those in need. Because you never know maybe someone real close to you is suffering and you might not even…

    The service that I did with the poor was at St. Vincent De Paul. I took the bus with a friend after school on a random Thursday with Ms. Reuter driving the bus, which I didn’t expect her to know how to do at all. It was my first time working there, because I had only worked at the distribution center the year before for confirmation. When we arrived we all signed in and they put the people who had been there before in their normal locations. My friend and I got split up, with me in charge of sorting all of the donated canned foods and my friend went over to move pallets around. While I was working with one of the staff there, I made friends with some freshmen that were also working with me. They started calling me silly names like “broth boy” because at some point I got in charge of sorting canned broths.…

    When I had first volunteered at a preparatory school as a teacher’s assistant, I was thrilled and excited. I enjoyed working with children and I admit, was slightly disillusioned with expectations that the children would be dutiful and effortless to watch over. Unfortunately, all my prior imaginations crashed the second I entered the classroom. Everywhere I saw, it was pure chaos. I dodged a flying crayon as I saw children running around throwing paper airplanes, balls, while others just stared at their iPads, focused on the latest game. Not a single one of them even listened to me or glanced at me as I tried to yell over the loud chatter.…

    Carefully, with a shaky hand, I successfully inserted an insulin pump into my left thigh. I counted every carbohydrate I ate and timidly calculated my carbohydrate/insulin ratio. The liquid I was distributing throughout my body was not in fact insulin, but saline. Volunteering as a diet aide at Camp Carefree, a children’s summer camp for type one diabetics, gave me the opportunity to know what it felt like to step into these innocent children’s shoes.…

    This current events article is about a middle aged man named Gregory Kloehn, who builds mobile homes, using less than $50 by finding recycled items that other people throw out. These shelters provide a safe, warm, and dry place for homeless who are stuck out in the streets. Despite the seemingly cheap price, it made a large difference to the homeless people, who promised that, if and when they got out of the streets, they would give the recycled home to another, thus continuing the…
