The issue my group is addressing is homelessness. This is a problem in all ages, but we are focusing on the youth perspective. We don't see kids living on the streets, yet we may come to find out that some fellow classmates might be homeless, whether they are living with other family or couch hopping. This problem needs to be dealt with and the organization our group is working with helps people become aware of the problem and possibly people they know being homeless. Teachers may not be aware that a student is struggling with schoolwork in result to being homeless. If they become aware then they can address the problem and help that student out. Our interviewee stated, "Teachers, love your kids!" and that shows that with the help of mentors, counselors, ect. It may change the life of someone who deals with the problem of homelessness.
We interviewed our subject for our video yesterday and her story was amazing. I can't imagine going through middle and high school not knowing where I will be staying or whom I would be staying with at different times. She managed to sacrifice staying in San Diego with her mother moving back to Mexico, in result to her becoming homeless. She struggled with this problem and still managed to do good in school and receive scholarships to colleges through certain programs. Without these programs/organizations, there's a chance she could still be homeless and not be attending SDSU living on campus and having a steady job.
Our group is working great together, we all help in our own ways and the work we do together always turns out good. We have lots of work still to do but so far we are pretty on track with our production schedule we made.
