Every now and then while walking to the train I see a homeless person. When taking the train to school I see another homeless person. When I get out of the subway and go to get a newspaper, I see another homeless person. Often times in life, people complain about the little things such as not getting the newest iphone or laptop. However we fail to realize just how lucky we are to have basic necessities such as a house with food and clean water. As a young kid, when I first saw a homeless person I wondered where do they go? The truth was that they didn’t have anywhere to go. They just sit there and watch. They watch as everyone else goes home while they wonder around in the streets. Here we live in the one of the most technologically advanced cities in the world but yet it sometimes seems like people live in a third-world country. Every time I see a homeless person I count my blessings and I’m thankful for what I have.
I’m really happy that I’m not the only one who feels that we should be more thankful towards all the technology and devices that are available to us. I don’t really know why but, I really liked how you pointed out that because they have nowhere to go, they watch all the people that pass by. Great job on your monologue! Maybe someday you’ll make a difference in the world. 😀
