Making the Right Choice

There are a lot of reasons why people become homeless: unemployment, illness or the loss of a loved one are just a few of them. I didn’t choose to be homeless. No one does.

No matter where you go or what you do, there’s no place like home. Becoming homeless made me feel like I was not part of society. But I knew I had to make the right choices and the right decisions, and get involved. No matter what happened to me to make me become homeless, I could never give up. I can never quit.

Homeless people are people too. Everyone appreciates a little respect and kindness, homeless or not. I made a choice not to be angry or bitter about my situation. I made a choice to help and pray for other people. I made a commitment to myself that failure is only failure when you quit. I really feel like there must be failure in order to have success.

This is a must for me and anyone else who is homeless: Please, make a choice to never give up. And make a choice to never quit.
