Final Reflection Van Tol
How have I changed?
Thoughts:
I look at the homeless people as normal people just living harder lives. I personally don’t like when people say they’re just consumers. Yes, they take stuff from you and they can’t give you anything in return. But, the things you do for them, even if it’s a very small favor, they really appreciate it.
Attitudes:
I always make sure my attitude toward homeless people is positive. I keep my head high and encourage them so they don’t ever give up. They could have a great future ahead of them and I’d be sad to see them give up and not get anywhere in life.
Actions:
Now that I have had a bigger experience with the homelessness I plan to help them out as much as I can in a respectful way. For example, see them as people, stand up for them, give, volunteer, and come up with a plan to help. For now, I plan to volunteer and donate stuff, but I’d also like to look into doing social work later on in life.
