Darrell Wright, personal story.

My name is Darrell Wright and I just want to share my side of the hunger and homeless issue from a personal standpoint. As a kid, I never considered myself to ever be hungry or homeless. But, when I was younger my family and I had to move in with my grandmother for about a year because we had lost our home. Now, as a kid I didn't realize that this was considered homeless. I thought being homeless meant staying out on the street and asking for money. Now, even though we were technically homeless, however we were never hungry. Now, I used to be a part of the lower class, and I personally didn't like that some students in our sociology class assumed that all lower class families couldn't afford food. Food was always a priority in my household and I can not remember a time where we absolutely had nothing to eat? We never qualified for food stamps, but we always had food. Whether it just be beans and rice, or top roman noodles...there was always something. Now that my family is back on our feet, and we are a little bit more financially stable, I still never prejudge people and their financial situations. Because I was once in there shoes and sometimes looks can be deceiving. Just because a family doesn't make a lot of money doesn't necessarily mean that they are starving.
