In Class Journal Entry 3/7/12


Everyday, when I’m on my way to school, I see a homeless man with an oversized gray shirt and ripped pants sitting on the off-ramp with a cardboard sign and scribbled in faded black chalk read, “Homeless. Need food. God bless.” For the most part, I’m always for helping people especially homeless people when they’re looking for a bite to eat. I’m not the type to really keep cash in my wallet so I was never able to give him any money to assist his situation. I remember a couple weeks after first seeing this man, I noticed he had a new hat with what appeared to be a price tag daggling off the left side of his head. I thought about how strange that was and carried on with the rest of my day. A week later, after getting off the freeway, I saw him with another new hat. I understand that most homeless people are without cash, but when some are given money, they invest them in wrong products such as drugs, alcohol, or even hats.
