It was the summer time about two years ago, I was in Toronto with my family, we where staying in downtown for a couple days. It was our second day and I had been to Toronto many times before to visit. I had visited most of the attractions in the in the city, and it is one of my favourite places to visit. We where staying in this really fancy hotel, and it made my feel out of place it was too fancy for me, I was not in a high enough class to be there.
It was such a beautiful and instead of driving through the city we decided to walk the couple of blocks to the restaurant we where going to eat at and the harbour front market. Our walk took about 15 minutes, along the way we had to cross under a bridge, and under there where loads of homeless people living with nothing. This was the first time a had really seen a homeless person and were they stayed. I had only really seen hitchhikers in my small town, I had been to many big cities before but I had never seen them like this, we normally stay in the tourist parts of the city. It opened my eyes to how bad things really can for some people and the thing they go through.
In that moment walking under the bridge I realize how lucky I truly am for what I have I was on a vacation and this people had nothing. I had never had to go to bed hungry or missed on things on basic things becasue my family had no money. My heart broke for this people who had nothing in their life.
This city made me realize how different and far apart the classes really are, I saw the high class and the very low class, and I realized I am somewhere in the middle, and very lucky to be where I am.

Hi Paityn!
I enjoyed your story, and I can relate to it.
I also grew up in a small town, where there was not visible poverty such as the people living under the bridge in your story. I can remember my first time realizing that homelessness was actually a problem in our society. I was young, and my family was travelling to Moose Jaw, where we would visit a few times a month for groceries and appointments. There was an older man that would always stand outside of the Walmart there, no matter the weather, who was dressed in ragged clothing. I remember leaving that Walmart one day, and I smiled at the man and he smiled back; a big, kind of happy, smile. On the ride home I began to appreciate everything I had, and how I often take simple things for granted.
That day I also realized my family and I fell into the middle-class. Thanks for a great read!
Cheers,
Averie 🙂
There are so many questions that it may take time to figure out exactly where or how to even get heading. Mainly all the rolls particularly Latvia fill up soon because there is great deal of rolls loving gamers.
Play online but get the feel of genuine casino at no cost. Do you know what you want from the game in the long term, and are you using steps to meet any objectives? It’s just that here there are fewer gamers.
