Day 5 YWCA Workman

I have been very grateful for this class mainly because my entire outlook on homelessness and homeless people has changed dramatically. When we were talking about stereotypes the other day all I was thinking about what how a week ago, that was me. I thought all homeless people were lazy alcoholics. Even though that stereotypes does still hold true for some homeless people I really have realized that for most homeless people that's not the case. Some homeless people could be any old Christian like me with a house and a family and children and then all of a sudden something would happen like an illness where they had to pay hospital bills and they lost their house. Knowing that that could happen to anyone really has changed how I look at homeless people, how they didn't want to be homeless and not all of them are lazy and some of them are actually really trying to change their situation.
