Booksneeze review: Homeless at Harvard

Have you ever taken the time to think of what it would really be like to be homeless? I know many times walking past beggars on the street many people have mixed emotions...lazy, poor guy, creepy, un-motivated...whatever your opinion it varies from person to person. One student at Harvard however, decided he needed to see what it was like to be living on the streets, with no set address and learn just what it's like. We go on an adventure with him , learning the dos and dont,s of the streets. Just how you stay alive, the safe spots and the not so safe spots. The friendlies and the not so friendlies. Did you know how hard it is to find shelter in a safe spot while living on the streets? What about where to find food for the day ? Many nights he went to bed hungry, but soon started to make friends, learnt about lice and other issues you encounter living on the streets. So next time you are passing the street, offer a helping hand, a warm meal a friendly gesture that way if you ever find yourself in the same situation you will be prepared and welcomed into a community unlike any other .
