Guest Speaker

I enjoyed the guest speaker on Tuesday. He was so energetic and funny! It really brought life to what he was presenting, despite the topic being dreary. It was depressing to know that a homeless man, the artist, who had so much talent wasn't able to share that with more people. I personally, would pay money for some of his work. As an artist, I personally, enjoy seeing all forms of art and what I say, I liked..a lot!

It was just so sad to know that some homeless are victims of abuse and neglect. I mean, I knew that some were, but the reality of it and just hearing actual stories is just something else. It's not just knowing, it's hearing it from someone who has witnessed it and dealt with it. It was depressing, but his attitude made it, I don't want to say fun, but for lack of a better word, fun to learn about this stuff. His humor made it less like a lecture.

Anyway, I just really enjoyed his energy. I would find it hard to work with the homeless and not be depressed and just lose all sense of humor after working with them for so long.
