Observing my Surroundings

#2

        I come across homelessness often, because I live in New York and there are many homeless people here. But not just here. All over the world. They should be noticed, not overlooked. I find them in train stations, sitting outside busy places or all over Manhattan.

        Homelessness is a big issue all over the world. So many people go to sleep with no shelter over their heads. Nothing to protect them from the heat in the summer, the cold in the winter or the cold rain storms. I feel sympathy towards these people because they 

don’t have a home to go to. They live a life on the streets, where there are things like rodents and wild animals, bugs and harsh weather. Everyone should deserve to have safety. A home is a necessity it’s where you cleanse yourself, sleep eat and entertain yourself. To live life worrying about how you’re going to survive each day is heartbreaking. They live on the streets because they are less fortunate, and we should help them. It’s wrong to leave these people on the streets when you go home to so much more, and they have nothing but a miserable life.
