An essay by a homeless student

When I was at Noon Day Center last Saturday, a homeless guy asked me to do him a favor which is to type his essay down and send to the professor. He is a homeless student.

Because of the cold weather, schools were closed from Thursday to Sunday last week.

I don't know if I will meet him again, if I do, I would like to go into his life and write/photograph his life.

Homeless/Houseless

UNM closes for two days due to the bad weather. Since I've been to Minnesota last year, this is not that bad for me. But people in New Mexico think it is terrible.

I went on an assignment about the shelters opening for homeless people today.

The things I saw there makes me really sad.

Before I left the Noon Day Ministries, an 18-year-old boy asked me if I would like to hear his story.I said yes. But because of the deadline, I had to leave early.

I told him that I will be back there tomorrow again to do a story on him.

He agrees.

I feel sorry for his life, especially he is that young. For me, as a young college journalist, there is only certain things I can do to help him, but I really hope he will have a better life in the future.

I will have a follow up story.

I had a random night walk on Central Ave. tonight and I had a random conversation with this Native American, Drunk, Homeless, Artist

I guess this is my first time taking photos of a Native American and this is the beginning of my 'Homeless' project
