Street

Watching the youth roam around the streets asking for food and seeing families living at a dumpsite, was big impact on my perspective on life. The things I take for granted such as education, having internet, and running hot water, are not easily accessible for the people in Nicaragua. I wanted…

walk around the streets without being called absurd names or looked down upon. Moreover, Gendered Lives and Women and Men Speaking reinforce that men degrade women through their verbal and nonverbal cues. 10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman is a short two-minute video about a woman and her experience walking silently through Manhattan for ten hours, wearing jeans and a crewneck t-shirt. Literally, throughout the entire video, this women does not talk, she walks through the streets minding…

anything happens to them that would have to be my sisters’ keeper, even if they were doing things that I did not agree with. I never paid attention to them until someone almost ran over my baby sister because I was not watching her, and she ran into the streets. I said this to ask have anyone ever had this brother or sister that your parents made that person parents made them promise to look after them even if they are doing bad things that them do not even agree with.

Treat Others With Kindness Imagine living on the streets, alone and cold. No one cared and no wondered how you got there. No money to spend, no food to eat, nowhere to go.

I was at school and got bullied at school during lunch one day. A guy that didn’t like me for whatever reason wanted to fight me and I turned a cold shoulder and tried to walk away. That didn’t go well with him and he pushed me down the hill and I fell down the hill and all my food came out of my lunch bag. I felt extremely humiliated because it seems like all the school saw it. I was laughed at and so I went in the school to hide. I didn’t cry but I was roughed up. I never seem to let anything…

When I saw a homeless person on the streets in Las Vegas, I sat next to him and initiated a conversation. Imagine having nothing to work with. No home, no food, no education. Most of you reading this essay, have never experienced this. I myself have never experienced it either but what I do know is that everybody likes to be recognized in their own way.
