With the good news about my new job starting tomorrow, and the 3months of surviving, it has opened my eyes to what some people have to go thru to make it in the US.
3months ago, they denied my unemployment, I worked labor temp to survive, I have met so many real people down there every morning at 5:30am, some people that were out on the streets, some in rehab for minor offenses, but once you get to know them they are all good people, that need a chance to make things better for themselves, sometimes you didnt go out on jobs, sometimes you only got 4hours, but we all survived it. I finally had the unemployment hearing, and WON, so I did receive the benefits retroactive, which in turn went to the landlady because I was so far behind in the rent, and now tomorrow is a new beginning. I will never forget this experience, it has been the most grueling and hardest thing I have ever been through in my life, this kind of thing should not happen here in the United States, if they can send $300 billion over to Iraq, they sure as hell can keep it here and train the people that need it most, no more homeless people and more jobs. Through misty eyes I can say that I am one of the lucky ones,I will always remember this, and I will try to help from now on.
