Neal- Guidance Center- Day Five

On the fifth day, we went back to the guidance center's headquarters to meet with a lot of the people we worked with over the week. We thanked all of them profusely for  allowing to make a difference and for there generosity over the week. They also gave us a delicious breakfast of cheese danish and breakfast pizza. I told them my issues of not having enough interactions with children which I thought was the most interesting part of the trip. They told us we were welcome to come back at any time. They gave us a certificate of appreciation and we all discussed our problems and favorite moments of the trip. We then preceded to have our day off, where we  went to an art museum. On the way there, we noticed that there was an extremely large amount of trash on the side of the way. I wish that we were able to help with the trash problem because things like that are one of the reasons why Detroit has a bad reputation. It would be an act that would help the environment and the reputation of Detroit, it is also something that I would have gladly done. There is also another significant issue that I noticed when we went to get food in the Greek town section of Detroit and that was the significant homeless population. There was one guy that went up to us and tried to convince us to donate to his homeless shelter and gave us all a small American flag, he then asked for donations, I felt bad for the guy and wanted to help but I did not have any cash on me. When I told him that he quickly took his flag back and left. Later in the day when we were watching  the basketball game, the guy saw us in the window and walked in the restaurant and specifically went to me and gave me an American flag, he tried talking to me but he was too drunk and I could not understand a word he was saying. I gave him back the flag and reminded him that I only had a card and no cash. He then continued to talk to us, and there was nothing I could do to help him at that time and the waiter escorted him outside. After experiencing that i felt helpless that I could not do anything to help him, From that I feel really inspired to volunteer at the homeless shelter and try to make a positive difference in their lives.
