I was stumbling across the interwebs like I do everyday and searched through Google news to find homeless stories. I do that quite frequently when I am devoid of inspiration for posts.
I haven’t posted in two weeks because I really didn’t know what to say, nothing ever happens to me. I wake up then I go to bed. Everyday looks the same to me.
Anyway before I get all philosophical, on to the crux of this post.
This story concerns a girl similar to my age and experience, an immigrant like me.
She comes from Nicaragua and her family became homeless wondering the streets of Miami while she was studying for her exams.
I wasn’t homeless while I was at school but I can tell you the kind of pressure that comes from finances while trying to be a student.
So she has been offered a scholarship to go to a university.
That’s been my dream for a long time now, to be able to go to college. So the fact that this has happened to her and she has been giving a chance like this fills me with such hope that something like this could happen to me one day.
Even if I don’t get a scholarship, the fact that a seemingly impossible situation can be turned around encourages me.
And I hope it does to you to.
Have a great day, read the story here and let me know your thoughts.
Yours Truly
