The Andy Project Cinci Style yo!

So today we went to Cincinnati, OH for the AP, and it was AMAZAZING! I had an amazing time walking around the city and looking at all the old buildings! It was a real eye opener also! I am around homeless people everytime we do the AP, but the number of people and how desperate they were even for a deodorant stick amazed me! The truth of homelessness finally hit for real this time. It is a real problem in our world! Poverty is a real problem in our world! The one question that always comes to mind when I think or talk about this subject is "Why does the world not care at all for their homeless neighbors?" I don't understand how people can care so little for those who are in need. Everyone is just one step from being homeless or not knowing if they are going to have what they need to survive the next day. I know what it feels like to not have luxuries. My mom has been a single mom most of my life, and I remember growing in elementary school and being made fun of for having hand-me-down clothes. I remember not knowing what it feels like to have a nice t.v. , play station, Mp3 player, or the most popular clothes at the time. I remember having to deal without. It sucks hardcore! I think that's why my heart goes out to homeless people or those who don't have very much at all so much. I am thankful very everything I have now that I have seen what it truly means to go without.
