I was not sure about what to write for my journals, I did not want to write more than just my daily duties. I ended up thinking that writing about my perspectives, goals, objectives about my duties at work and the homeless shelter system. I started working at the Aguila INC Shelter, which is my place of work and internship. I started in November 10, 2015 as a Case Manager and it has been a challenging place for me. I did not have the experience, knowledge and I dare to say the educational background that may make me feel more comfortable to work with Homeless Families.

She expresses her malcontent with life both in North Dormer and with Royall. She often mentions how various members of the town have instilled in her the idea that she must be grateful to Royall for rescuing her as a young child and ought to be ashamed of her Mountain heritage. Meanwhile, she condemns the Mountain and those who dwell there, but cannot help but fixate her attention on it. According to Charity:

II. Problem a. This paper researches validity of Resource Mobilization Theory as to how it applies to social movement organizations, in this case homeless social movement organizations. This paper seeks to answer what resources are used by SMOs, what resources are more useful to SMOs than others, what difference does externally derived versus internally derived resources play, and what level of influence does external support play. This research seeks to remedy the oversight that other papers have in: their ability to “empirically ground the resource concept”, the inability to create a relationship between resources and their ability to influence SMOs ability to act, and their inability to determine whether resources that are acquired are externally

Born in New York City to an economically disadvantaged Bukharian Jewish family, I grew up in government-subsidized housing projects, where I was raised with people of all races, cultures, and ethnicities. Growing up in Starrett City contributed to my decision to volunteer at Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen, where I helped individuals lacking access to basic care obtain social services and other amenities. Attending Weill Cornell Medical College (WCMC) will enable me to continue serving the population that helped raise me. I am especially interested in WCMC’s Medical Student Homeless Outreach Program, not only to be a companion to the underserved community, but also to take a hands-on approach to providing access to fundamental health care. Subsequently,

World War I was a very sad event for the soldiers and their families. Because of this war, soldiers received mental illnesses, immune diseases, and physical injuries in the trenches and in battle. This is similar to how people lived in the 1930's in the Great Depression, and how they developed mental illness and immune system disease. So the challenges of a soldier in the GMP are similar to the challenges faced by homeless people in the Great Depression. To begin with, soldiers suffered from mental and immune diseases between 1914-1918 because of the war.
