Homeless

Homeless...is that what we really are as those just wandering through? Well, this morning more than a few students got to experience what it's like to be homeless. 600+ people slept outside at the salvation army in columbia to represent the homeless in the area. Apparently as of the 2005 census there were 1753 homeless in columbia, SC. Sleeping outside would have been no big deal a couple of weeks ago, but last night it was 31 degrees. Yes, that is one degree below freezing. And...many needed to bundle up better than they were, but they definitely experienced a hard night. Then on top of that, they worked as a part of shareFest Columbia which is a giant work project to serve our city. Is there any doubt why young people change the world? With so much passion and energy, they just ooze...something. If you know what that "something" is please let me know!! I want some of it.
