Cedars Speaker

I really enjoyed the Cedars speaker on Tuesday! He was crazy. He had an intense way of speaking to the class that really made you want to listen. He talked about the different things that youth can fall into, especially when they are runaways or become homeless. He told us some truly eye-opening stories. What was most prevalent to me were the pictures of where some of these homeless people live. I guess, I have been totally oblivious so the amounts of homeless people in Nebraska. I had no idea we had people who ACTUALLY lived on the streets. It was truly amazing to see. It was also interesting to see the before and after meth pictures. It really showed how terrible the effects of drug abuse can be. It was slightly disgusted, but got the point across perfectly. Overall, great speaker. Well worth waiting the 15 minutes that he was late :)
