So, today on the nightly news, the winner of the American
Strong deal was a homeless high school student who is the Valedictorian. Hey, that is cool, I know. It is hard to put yourself through college
while couch surfing. However, I will one
up him, since his friends who knew raised forty thousand dollars for him to go
to college. I put myself through college
couch surfing, working a minimum wage paying job. He just had tons of praise heaped on him,
deserved to be sure, but he is not the only one. I later heard a story about a school that has
600 homeless students. They are not
getting all that attention.
A blog about charities, politics, and other events that occur. Feel free to share anything stated on this blog. Who knows where the journey will lead us.
