Tribute For a Loving Person

-
This is a tribute for a loving person who has been here for me for 14 years and 9 days. This person is there for me when I feel so hopeless and lonely. This person walks with me all over Uptown and we have deep discussions about discrimination and homelessness. This person I call my dad, padre, and papazel. I could never ask for a different dad than the dad I have now. My dad is a husband to my wonderful mom, Beth. I always enjoyed going on car trips and my parents would have discussions of all sorts of things. I liked to listen to them talk and talk because I like to be aware of the things going on in this world, I glad I’m not clueless. And I thank my marvelous padre for that. Having all those deep talks led my dad to protest for those who are in need of help. My dad loves going to protest (me too). Some protest that he’s gone to that I know of is Uptown Tent City, mass incarceration, affordable housing, and I know there are many many more but there’s too many to count. I

Be More Aware

-
When I was in 4th-6th grade I would get bullied. It made me come home sobbing every single day after school. Whenever I needed a break from school when I got frustrated at certain things I would go into the girls' restroom and slam my fist against the wall until my special arm or fist would start to throb with pain then I would cry and cry. I COULDN'T STAND IT! I never enjoyed getting bullied. But who does?! When I look back on getting bullied it made me feel so anxious but I am thankful I got bullied those horrible years. If I didn't get tortured at school I wouldn't be who I am today. An activist, a person who wants to help those in need, and one of the biggest ones is being more aware of bullying. When I see someone getting bullied I want to help I don't want to just sit there and watch them suffer.  So believ e it or not, bull ying can make you a stronger person, but it's still wrong. I want you to look around and see if there is someone who is b

Uniqueness

-
God created me through his own image, with a beautiful special arm. Some people that I know with limb differences never really understood how cool and unique it is to have a nub and to look so much more different than a lot of other people in the world. I always enjoy having a special arm. God made this way. He made me look this way. If I never had a special arm I wouldn't be me. My other uniqueness is living in a place called Jpusa. I've lived in Jpusa for 13 years, almost 14. If I never lived here I wouldn't feel so strongly about changing the lives of the homeless, and have that Christian love. I wouldn't be the person that wants to help others as much as I can, I wouldn't be a super determined person without all the people in my community to push me to be the person I am today. The people that have made me the Unique person I am today is my Jpusa Family, friends outside of Jpusa, my great family, and definitely the help from Jesus. Thx for reading😄

Get those houses to good use!

-
My dad and I went for a walk to CCO and the Wilson Men's Hotel which is known to turn into a condo and the other condo that is by Everybody's Coffee are extremely expensive! And that's how people become Homeless. Let me explain. at this house, the rent is cheaper. Then some strangers come over and repair it. That causes them to up the rent. And that leads to homelessness to some of them. When there are new people that are homeless and when the government gets angry with them sleeping on the sidewalk that gets me frustrated because these are my friends who you are kicking out all the time. The government doesn't understand what it is like to be homeless? They have nice homes and money to buy 2 houses (sometimes) but the homeless don't and they don't respect that instead, they kick them out. What I'm trying to say is they could make those houses to help those in need but instead they are making them into condo's that only rich people can pay for.

Bullying = Wrong!

-
What is it with bullying? I've never understood it. You could either be bullied for a little amount of time, in between or long amount of time. Some people who get bullied bully others themselves to make people laugh and to be in a clique. Or why does a kid get bullied when he or she is minding his or her own business? Why do we examine whatever he or she does and feel the need to tell the class about them and laugh at them? WHY DO WE DO THAT!? We bully because we are human, but how do we improve that and stop making people make fun of others? We need to stick up for our brothers and sisters. I got bullied for about 2 years. Extremely hard times. Me coming home crying all the time, kicking the wall to let out my anger, and other things that just made me mad. When I got bullied I noticed other people that got bullied and stood up for them. Now that I don't get bullied, as a Christian I am more determined to make people notice how they are treating people wrong. And now I sta

Prayer wins!

-
I have lived in a community for my whole life. My home knows so much about homelessness, racism, violence all over, and other terrible things. But I am thankful that I know all of these things. I want to pray for the people that are hurting inside from all the problems we have in this World. And I want to help those who need our shoulders to help them get back up. Some places that I have gone and they have no idea about how the homeless go to jail from using the bathroom on the street. They don't have a bathroom! What were they supposed to do?! Or right by my house, there was a place where the homeless slept under a bridge. Well, some people decided to kick them out of the bridge. To keep them out they put a biking path on both sides! Even though there is a biking path right by it! I don't know much about this world and its problems, but I'm glad that I know a good amount to pray for those who are struggling in their lives.

Be Kind To Others

-
Image
Some people think homeless people are violent. but most of the people I meet are so generous and loving. My dad (Jeremy Nicholls) and I walked under the bridge which was a place where a lot of homeless people went to sleep and get away from the bad weather. I loved going down there. Everybody was so kind to us. Sometimes when I go down to the bridge and they would just give me treats, pillows, and other things that you would think homeless people wouldn't give to me...FALSE! Some come up and give me big hugs. Most of the people under the Bridge are close friends. One very good friend of mine that lived down there but now he is housed😁😁😁😁😁😁!!! But it was his birthday and I made about 15 cookies for him he was extremely grateful and felt so loved by that. What I want you to know is that the homeless are kind loving people, so don't be rude to them because you are afraid for no important reason. So be kind to others! This is my good friend who is now housed!
