Students sleep outside for homelessness

"It was horrible. I was up almost all night,"

Welcome to the world of homeless.Such was the awakening of Students who slept outside for homelessness in Longmeadow, Mass.

"It's a reality check to us because we're building these little homes out of cardboard boxes and then it gets cold out and we're kind of sleeping in these boxes and thinking, oh my gosh, it would really be hard to have to do this more than once a year," said Alison Stein, a senior.

The students spent the first part of the night around a campfire. It wasn't until they put the fire out, reality set in.

"Tossing and turning, freezing, just not a good night," Silvia explained. "I cant imagine in the winter when its snowing."

Awareness is an interesting thing. Man does not become aware of reality until reality affects them personally. Get involved with the homeless. They will thank you and heaven itself will reward you.
