Lol this shit is funny... I meet a guy we will call Earl.. At the city college. Earl was homeless and attended school their. He was 23 Hispanic and came from low income. I was a recruiter at that point so my job was hey lets get earl in the Navy. Well Earl said no thank you, I want my school. I did my best to sale earl on the Navy, but this homeless guy was determined to get his BA. I talked to him about my girls career how she is going to be an athletic trainer and ect. Turns out Earl likes sports and wanted to be a Nurse, well after talking to Earl I learned allot from him. He lifted in the ally right behind the school. You see earl moved his cart there so he wont be late for school. At times he would go home, but his family was on drugs and did not want to be apart of it. So every day earl would wake up collect his cans and he would even walk to the recruiting office (we bought him car wash stuff) and he would wash all our cars. He did other odd jobs to earn money, but every thing legal. Yard work, worked at the school grounds and ect.
I never saw earl after I left recruiting, but that kid was motivated and I would not mind my tax dollars go to him. I would help him in a second, but his family who is abusing the system I would not piss on them if they were burning.
