The Sources

One of the potential sources for my final analysis paper I will be using is a website called National Alliance to END HOMELESSNESS. On this website I will be looking at a specific article that provides a variety of different information which is called, “The State of Homelessness In America 2012.”

On this website it provided me lots of data about whether the amount of homeless decreased on increased yearly. This also told me that most people whom are homeless are mainly Veterans from wars. Most of the people who were homeless that were veterans were unable to find a job because of the economy and there were not many jobs hiring. The reason I choose this source was because I relates in my mother. She is also a veteran and for her it was hard to find a job.

Another potential source that I will be using for my analysis paper is a website called Huff Post Education. On this website I will be looking at article called “Homeless Advocates Divided Over Bill Aimed at Helping Kid.” On this article it talks about a bill called McKinney- Vento Act of 1987 which makeds sure those children who are homeless have the same quality schooling as everyone else.

I choose this article because it related to me in a way. When I was homless I was held back in the 7^th grade. Being homeless put so much stress on me I stopped attending class and began to skip school. Eventually I began thinking to myself that I didn’t want to grow up and have no career at all in the future and what to be better than my own parents. Therefore I began to take the initiative  and go back to school doing everything possible because I wanted to make my family proud of me and not disappoint them,
