I went on a trip to Washington DC yesterday. It was a school trip. We were in front of the White House and taking pictures. We were there for a little while and I turned to look back across the park to see if our bus was back. When I noticed this women, who we had all walked passed, but did not see. She was sitting across from the WHITE HOUSE protesting war. She had two anti-war signs and a make shift home - a plastic tarp over herself and her few belongings. It was a cold and rainy/sleeting day. She is a homeless women living across the street from The White House. All that money a stone's throw away.
So guess what I did? I walked across the street and sat with her. I listened to her and took pictures. I spent time with her.
Then I had to go back across the street to rejoin my group and this time when I looked at The White House, my stomach turned and I started to cry!!!!
What do you think about this? (Not what I did, but the situation.)
