Project homeless connect

   When I was told we were going to help those homeless people on last Friday, I was so excited about that. I thought it was a nice opportunity for me practice my oral English. In addition, it was also an extremely meaningful event for both of the students and homeless people. Furthermore, it is a extraordinary experience for me to sever the public. I couldn't even help thinking about it in my mind again and again. I was really looking forward to taking part in the event.

  However, when I got there on Friday morning, I found the things were a little bit out of imagination. When we walked on the sidewalk outside the convention center, I saw lots of homeless people sitting on the ground and waiting for our help. They looked so helpless and hopeless. I started to worry if I can really do something for them, am I truly helpful. I took my cell phone out, and it was 9 o'clock.

  After all the registration stuff, the guest I served occurred. It was a lady with her 4-year-old son. She checked all the services she wanted to receive first, and she sent his child to the child care center. Then, we started to make everything in the right track. But there were thousands of people there, so the line for each service was extremely long, and I did spend a huge amount of time in waiting in line. Especially for the ID service, waiting in line took us about 1 hour. Unfortunately, the lady lost her SAMSUNG cell phone. We couldn't find it in the lost and found or the counter where we thought she lost her cell phone. I saw the sadness from her eyes, it looked so frustrated and sad and I couldn't even say a word to comfort her. By the time he left, we didn't still find her cell phone. Looking at the view of her son and her, I felt so disappointed and  exhausted.

  I did learn something from those homeless people, which I will never forget. It was a meaningful but frustrating day, however, that is how life works. Life doesn't go easy on anybody.
