Response to Speakers by Chauncy

The experience that I took from the speakers was very powerful. I know that every person has their own reason in why they are homeless. Dan the speaker who was assign to our group told us about how he grew up and help his mom out and was called a momma boy it. He would always get into trouble doing stupid things with his friends. He would later get caught and was put into a federal prison. He would later get out and meet a woman that would change his life. They got married and had to kids. Times were good until they had to separate. He started to drugs to cope with the pain. Over time when a person starts to drugs he will do anything and everything to get it. He was homeless for about 13yrs until losing his toe he came to realization what more would it take from to lose in order to stop what his was doing. He later got help and has been living in a home for a few months now. I found his story to be very insightful and I understood a lot of what he wa going through. I have a person who I know who is going through the same kind of thing. Many homeless people don’t make it a choice to become homeless, it sometimes just happens. There are others who could found a way tp stop it but just didn’t want to. There are a lot of people in the world that when you look at them that they are homeless. It could be cause of their parents. I feel that I have taken a lot in from the speaker Dan and I would like to learn more and spend a day with him to see what goes on in his world.
