She's Only Five
In the November 2013 issue of teen ink Alicia Gonzales shocks me in her article “She’s only five.” Alicia talks about her experience at working at a homeless shelter. She was reading books to children. I have done something similar with my youth group. We go around and help people with their houses or there land and help them fix it up. She starts reading some princess books to a little girl. She was really happy even though she was in a homeless shelter. I was surprised on how happy she was. It was just she; she didn’t have any family with her at the shelter. I wasn’t that surprised about having kids in homeless shelters, but it would be really hard for me to cope with something that heavy. In the Ayersville community I don’t think that there are homeless people, but I know some people don’t have a lot of money, although there could always be someone who is and can hide it very well.
