True , social workers are the last hope of this world . It is at this point where I wished to die than to continue suffering . I waited for 1 year to get a meager room . In that year that passed I lost too many opportunities such as studying at college , starting my classes in the DOES programs among many others , but the reality is that there is a waiting list for all the homeless . Washington DC has many services for the homeless , but it also has many people in this situation , in addition to immigrants and lowincome families . This list is for a temporary room for only 18 months . Before you get it , you have to wait at least 1 year hopefully . The year had already passed , they had no idea what I had to do to get them to give me a room , and the worst of all , absolutely of all , is that a fundamental part of me has died . That also hurts a lot . I had to insist with many social workers , among these , most only work for their pay , and I can affirm this because of the disposition that these workers have with their clients .
I don ' t know why I had to live this atrocity , my life is a victim of the past and the worst thing is that I live around the homeless and I feel helpless for everything , " now this is a personal problem ." if I had to sacrifice my life so that at least 5 people in this situation were different , I would do it 1,000 times .
I guess this is what the author of the phrase " it ' s better to be useful than someone important " was referring to , I never wanted to accept it , but since I was 14 years old I always had it in mind , I tried to be someone in life , everything seemed promising to me in the future In school I studied hard to be someone in life , but I did not end up becoming any of those things , will this be my destiny ? I don ' t know , what I do know is that I didn ' t choose it .
Currently many services are offered in the DC area , such as housing , social workers , psychotherapists , Medicare , food among others , but even if you receive all these benefits you will continue to sleep on the street again , and then wait at least 1 year . The reason for the construction of small houses mainly helps the process of eradicating homelessness to go hand in hand with the programs or benefits of DC .
