Final reflection Olushola

How have I changed as a person that has been around homelessness? Over these two weeks in Winterim I have changed a lot from the way I think about homelessness and homeless people. This changes the way I think of the world also:  I now understand how important it is to stay in school and to get an education. We talked a lot about this in our afternoon class at school. We as a class have found and experienced a lot of what being homeless is all about. Now I think of how it is for my parent to keep their jobs, pay bills, and deal with me (that was a joke!). But now that I know how much is at stake I will do everything in my power to help my mom and dad be able to live their life the way its supposed to be in any way I can. I will also try to volunteer at places like Guiding Light or donate when I can to help out organizations so I can make a difference.  I feel like these two weeks have really been worth it, and I am glad I decided to join this Winterim class. We had a lot of fun and I’ll remember this two week for as long as I live.
