The Chicago Project

Friday March 14th 2008....The chicago Project took a trip Cincinnati to learn more about poverty....

The whole class came to school..we left the school about 8:00 am in the morning..and we started take our journey to the Big City called Cincinnati....when we got there we had speaker named Mr.Thomas he was the city member....who came from a life of poverty.....

some of the other speakers were:

Mr. Whitehead, Ms.Turnner, And Ms.Leah at the homeless shelter...

one of the things that really got to me was when we went to the "Sidewalk". Where young timothy thomas was shot and killed, for tarffic tickets....And the officer who killed him was white...so when we got tho the "sidewalk" and as soon as i steped out on to the sidewalk, i closed my eyes to see if i could picture what happened that back in time(i could see everything). From the monment he started running to the time he was shot and killed.

then before we left the "sidewalk" i was looking down i seen torn in half and thrown on the ground which i picked one up to see if there was anything on the back of it like a name...there was a few with names on them....

The Day in Cincinnati was amazing, it even got better when we got to the drop inn center...thats when my world changed for the better....and i now i want to help out in the future like going there to help out on the weekends or something like mission Trips..

so CINCINNATI changed me for good.
