Research Paper so far....

I have been collecting information for my research paper about minimum wage.  In my paper I will be discussing how the minimum wage  should be raised and I will explain my reasoning behind that. So far I have collected a lot of useful information and I feel as if it will help me greatly in my paper. As of right now, I am just reading all my sources and taking notes on them. I'm not really having any downfalls for the research paper right now, but who knows what I will come across in the writing process. Putting the paper together can sometimes be a struggle once I have all this information to put in the paper. I have found a lot of good information during my research process and I feel that this information will help me put together a good paper.

Changing the Face of Poverty

Poverty has become a huge problem in the country. When people think of poverty, they tend to forget that there are people in the United States facing poverty. On Television, we always see commercials asking for donations and food for other countries. But before we only think about other countries, we need to think about our own first. Many Americans are struggling with poverty, they don't have a place to live or money for food. These daunting commercials remind us that there are people that need our help. You will see commercials with sad-faced, little girls looking terribly sad. They stare at you with those sad eyes, and it really makes you want to help. But behind all the pictures and commercials, there is much more than just the images. These people need our help, they need our donations etc. Diana George, author of "Changing the Face of Poverty" explains how poverty effects everyone, even people in our own country. She also explains how we can help our struggling peers survive in this country.

Homeless on Campus

In "Homeless on Campus", Eleanor J. Bader tells a story about a woman named Aesha who is stuggling with money while being a college student.  Aesha has a difficult time being able to afford a place to live while being a college student. She also has a son to look after and that also tends to make being poor even more difficult for her. Aesha also found herself being on trains a lot to waste some of the time she had of being homeless. Atleast on the train she had some type of shelter. Aesha stayed in public housing for a while and continued to pursue an education. Another person, Asad had a hard time with money also. He found himself spending a lot of time on the streets. This story goes through the stuggles of college students not having a lot of money. As well as other people that are not students not having enough money to survive.

Driving in the car music

This playlist is the best playlist for driving in the car because these songs are very calming and relaxing.  The Luke Bryan songs are very good songs to listen to in the car because they have meaningful stories and they get you thinking. The Drake song, I like because it is catchy and makes me in a good mood. Katy Perry's song is one of my favorites and that is why I put it on my playlist. The Jason Aldean songs are good songs to listen to in the car because they are very heartfelt and get you thinking. The Cassidy Pope song is good for the playlist because it is very deep and emotional.
