Final Reflection Gabe Feddema

I never realized how cool those people are! Like I don’t judge homeless people that much, but I sometimes forgot how normal they are. They are so amazing! I made like 50 new friends this week, and it was really great! I definitely respect and love them a lot more than I used to.  And I remember to treat them like actual people. I focused a lot on learning their names, because that makes them real. I won’t be thinking of them as less than they are anymore.  I think the greatest thing about those last couple weeks were how much those people were there for me and how much I wanted to see them. I have been really sick, Thursday I almost fainted, Wednesday I couldn’t breathe, Tuesday was stomach pain. They were so supportive and were really patient when it took me a little bit longer to help them with something--they just appreciated that I was there. Now I know not all homeless people are like that, but these guys changed my life and I’m never going to forget it.
