I kissed a homeless guy because I am desperate, so desperate in fact that this wasn’t the first but instead the twenty-sixth. Yes, you heard it, I am so desperate to love someone that I am willing to kiss whoever to find them, and until then I will kiss however many homeless guys it takes to find the one. I promise I am not crazy, but rather a 36 year old single working lady who has never really had any fun and has yet to meet “the one.” I told myself that it would never get this far and eventually I would meet my true soul mate and with time build the family I have always dreamed of having, but here I am now wondering the streets kissing the crusty lips of all the homeless guys I can find. Some people may ask why I would look to find my soulmate …show more content…
As I head into work I notice multiple people sitting at the top of the stairs, something very unusual to my otherwise boring work day so I continue to walk up the stairs glancing as often as I felt it was socially acceptable, and then suddenly recognizing the all too familiar faces of three men. These are three homeless men I have met before all coming back for some unknown reason and ruining all of the very small reputation I have built for myself. I walk past hoping that by ignoring the obvious problem would allow for it to somehow go away, but as I walk further and further past with still no words from the men I begin to become even more worried. As I approach the door I see what would forever be etched into my vivid memory, a poster with three different pictures all of my kissing three seperate men. As my heart seemed to drop to my stomach the men approached explaining that they had caught on to my plan and that this was the only way for justice to be served. So many thoughts should have been rushing through my head in that very moment, but there was only one. It was whether or not Jim has seen this embarrassing poster and if he has how in the world am I ever going to explain this to him. I took the poster from the door and walked into my office. I could feel every judgmental face staring back at me as I walked to my cubicle, but only one meant anything to me. In that moment I knew, without any words being spoken that Jim knew and that I was going to do whatever it took to get him

The followings are the possible extraneous variables that can be influenced the study include: Settings, present health status, and the tool using (tape recorder). Settings can influence the result of this study because homeless individuals who live on the streets roam around and they normally do not have a stable place to be. Fortunately, these particular homeless individuals can be controlled because they can be targeted at Salvation Army Ministries lunches serving streets in most of the Polk County. These individuals regularly roaming on these specific streets and corners to get lunch every day and they will be the best participants to recruit for this study. The present health status must also consider because if their basic needs such
After looking through the television guide I was stunned! Finding an overload of male sports, a channel dedicated to horse racing, and somewhere in amongst that, one single female netball game. When horses are getting more coverage than women clearly there is either an issue or a glitch. It cannot possibly be right!
Topics for a final paper: I know other students are thinking the same thing, what am I going to write about to cover that many pages? Where am I going to find the information to support the subject? Will people be interested in the subject? The last question is what I am asking you, my fellow students.
Homeless in America is the most shameful problem that we try to ignore.Such as Arnold Abbot, a 90 year old man who went around making good for the homeless; and the couple Brenda Knokrl and her boyfriend Robert Bloch letting homeless people sleep on their porch. Getting fined for their effort to help. Homelessness continues to be a major issue in our country because we as people look down upon them and do not treat them as equals, we assume that they are in situations based on the addiction and dependency of drugs and alcohol. Not all homeless people are drug addicts or alcoholics, most of these homeless people are young adults with children and most people don't understand that homelessness goes
Homeless people in Allegheny County, PA are a vulnerable population that needs addressed. Homeless populations consist of individuals, families and veterans who struggle with obtaining the basic needs of life, that many take for granted. A shortage of affordable housing, not enough income to meet basic needs and inefficient support services all contribute to homelessness in the communities (In Nies & In McEwen, 2015, p. 433). Services, help, and resources are available in this county, but getting this vulnerable subset of the population to seek this help, are difficult.
At eleven-years-old, my world was turned upside when I first volunteered at the Manna Soup Kitchen and became aware of the substantial issue of homeless youth. While serving the beautiful food I helped prepare, I recognized one of my best friends who I volunteered in the Southwest Conservation Corp with as she waited in line with no parent in sight. After eating her meal, she went into the thick woods behind the kitchen where she still continues to live. Curiously, I followed her and witnessed the horrific reality of homeless youth for all she had was a tent and a blanket in below freezing weather. The matter of homeless youth carries great importance with me because it affects the lives of a substantial amount of my friends and peers.
“Homeless is more than being without a home. It is tied into education needs, food, security; health issues both mental and physical, employment issues, etc. Don’t forget the whole picture.” (“Boxed In” 2005 pg. 108)
1) I have been in various amounts of situations where I have experienced a culture shock, but the one that was most influencing my life was when I went to a homeless mission here in Las Vegas for the very first time to volunteer. I have always had a presumption on how the homeless lived and what they were like, but I could never have imagined what I experienced that day.
Besides pregnancy being a problem due to homelessness, drug abuse, and incarceration are other issues among many foster youth aging out of the system. Foster youth go through a lot while being in the system. This might include the lack of support, bullying, or stress from handling a lot. The fact that they have to be completely alone when they turn eighteen, just adds more stress to their plate. They are expected to become completely independent on the day of their birthday.
In 2005, NCH (National Coalition for the Homeless) estimated 3.5 million people experience homelessness in the US every year (NCH,1). But what is homelessness? Jim Baumohl, a noted author, explained in Homelessness in America, the most common definition of homelessness used by researchers is the “absence of belonging to a specific place or to people” (NCH, 3). However, there is no set definition, due to the variety of living conditions a homeless person encounters, and the opinions of the researchers. As Baumohl pointed out, “homelessness is but the latest of many research topics in which the population of interest is not clearly defined” (NCH, 15).
Gender inequality, police brutality and transgender rights are just a few societal issues impacting the way our society functions today. However, the social issue I have chosen is homelessness, specifically the causes and effects of homelessness in America because of recent observations. Since moving to Akron, I have noticed that the amount of homeless individuals seems more present in urban areas. Considering this new observation, I began to wonder how people become homeless and how this affects not only Akron, but our society in general. Although the rates of homelessness are moderately decreasing, homelessness is a public issue because it influences our economy and public health. The stigma around mental illness plays a huge part in the rates of homelessness. According to the National Coalition for the Homeless, about a quarter of the homeless population
Accessibility to affordable housing for the homeless in an issue that not only influences the impoverished, but people of all races. The insufficiency of stable housing forces individuals who are facing extreme poverty, at times, to make choices that are out of their control. The loss of employment and distressful events that have occurred in their lives can eventually lead to a person or a family becoming homeless.
I decided to do homeless as a research because at a young age at the Philippines I would see children on the street close by my grandma house in Manila. When I was six years old my grandma would tell me, “you better not play with them.” But I never listen. As a child, I love to ask questions because I am curious about everything and even today. As I remember the child nicknamed was Cat-cat. Cat-cat would tell me that he slept in all kinds of places but mainly on trees or top of the roof when he was 10 years old. Sometimes he had hop fences into primary school and sleep in their playgrounds. As he remembers at the first time being homeless was when he wandering the streets for hours. He tried to find a place to sleep in the close trash where
I hear them get closer and closer as the porch creaks every step to the door. My heart feels like its pounding through my chest, and sweat is pouring off my face as I sprint in a panic. I hear the key turning and the door opening just as I jump out the window.
