    I did not want to be homeless. I did dread every moment. Luckily I was in school. I got a job just like they told me to. I also worked with someone once a week to check in on how your improving yourself. I do not remember her name but I thought it was beneficial. It did bother me to see people staying there and they acted as if it was ok to be homeless. It did bother me to see I was pretty much the only one trying to do better. I believe the only way out of poverty is education. 9 years later I went back to school to do x-rays. I will take test to get medical license next month. I am still studying. I also study bone densitometry as well. I enjoyed it very much, they were tough on you but understand the complexity of homelessness.
