*In Humanities we have been working on Dreams that we have for the world. We worked on how we will change certain problems in the world and present them to everybody. Our dream speeches acquired statistics, opinions, examples, and our action plan to make our Dream come true. My Dream speech was about how I wanted to give the homeless a chance in life. I wanted to basically use some of the costs not used in the war(s) yearly given to homeless shelters and organizations. Even though "every piece of US monies have to be used in the war", I honestly believe that "statement" is false, and here's why.

Helping the Homeless
I Have A Dream
"Not to long ago I spoke with this man on the streets about how hard he has worked for his family and himself, but still somehow ended up homeless. He said he's been working for 14 years and still is to this day. But having to go home to a homeless shelter hurts him deeply because he knows that his house is still standing, but he also knows that forclosure can happen to anybody. I told him a little bit of my knowledge now. I told him that Affording houses affects 72% of cities poverty has an affect of 52% and the government does little to nothing but has sent over $3 Trillion dollars to war costs (Cost of War Blog Post. April 2013). Now that's the problem right there. Why does the US have to spend so much for frivolous wars that didn't even involve us? How many homeless people have you seen on the streets? Have you ever helped them out? Or did you just walk past them as if they were a flesh ridden disease?
"Too many people nowadays think that bankruptcy, forclosure, or just being broke can't happen to them. According to (The United States Conference of Mayors. June 2008.) the three causes of homelessness is Poverty, Forclosure, and Unemployment. My plan is to create an organization so that the government can pass a bill that states that they have to give the leftover funds that was not used in the war to at least 25-40% of the homeless across the nation.
Thank you for taking your time out of your day to read/listen to this Dream."
