Still feeling the street sense vibe

As a former street sense vendor from washington dc. I still feel apart of the street sense family. when I said goodbye to street sense. it was very hard for me to do that. because for three long years I was the front runner for street sense. I am now with real change a newspaper in seattle washington. which is very much like street sense. with just a little more meat added on. I am also working with an organization called stone of help ministries. a christian organization dedicated to helping people from all backgrounds. I look at seattle and I look at washington Dc. honestly I don't see too much of a difference. except when the homeless check in for the night at a shelter. they are spared the headache of having their belongings searched. which in reality is a violation of their rights to privacy. and in Washington DC. the homeless are always the target for rights violations because they are homeless. and service providers need to be more accommadating while they are serving the homeless. and the homeless should learn to be alot less demanding. It was really a great thing to work for street sense. It gave me a true sense of pride. I will admit that It was not easy to sell street sense. alot of people would often put you down for selling street sense. but I didn't let that get me down. I just kept right on selling. thanks alot street sense. I owe you one.
