lalalaI did this project when I was in 10th grade in Modern World class with Ms. Gaind, and I chose the topic about Homelessness, because I thought that was and still is something everyone sees when walking down the streets. In fact, when I was in 9th grade I did a project related to homelessness, so finding information wasn't’t so hard for me because I already had some from 9th grade. I researched more information and statistics about the population growth and how it affects people. I looked for reasons why there are so many homeless people in the streets and the most common one was income . People did not have enough money to pay rent. After I had all my facts, I started writing my essay. We had to have seven subtitles that had to do with each topic I was going to talk about. Those subtitles were: Introduction, History of Homelessness, Homelessness Now, Homeless Benefits Reduced, Homelessness and Diseases, Real Change Organization, and Conclusion. I met the English standard of 1.3 structuring my ideas and arguments by having concrete details and strong commentaries on my essay.

lalalaFrom this project, I learned reasons why so many people live on the streets, and that helped me see that some of them do not have the choice of having a home or not. The United States would become better rent were not so high and people’s incomes were not so low, because there is a lack of economic balance. I learned about myself that I am able to find information and write a long essay that can provide facts that the reader would not have known about homeless people. Now, I have more practice in writing essays, but in my 10th grade year I was still learning the structure, so I am proud that I was able to complete this Term paper two years ago, as a practice for what college may be like.
