Homelessness

Chris was a really fun and entertaining. He really seemed to love his job and I liked how he didn’t come in lecturing us because we do know a lot about homelessness. What was crazy to me was the amount of information I learned from him. I didn’t realize there was so many homeless people in Lincoln. I see the half dozen or more that are downtown at nights. But I never thought where do they sleep. I know some sleep outside the post and nickel sometimes because I’ve seen them but I was ignorant in the sense that I thought a lot of these people probably had a friends house to stay in at night or a shelter or even a car. But I find out that they don’t. They sleep in the open air, even in winter. One other thing I didn’t know is that we had many prostitutes in Lincoln. I had heard people say it but I thought it was just made up and Chris talked about numerous prostitutes that he helped. I really did enjoy listening to Chris, he told it how it is and was still fun to listen to. And I think we all learned something from him.
