Last day of the month
my statement of Purpose for graduate school applications
It was a dark and silent night in the middle of the month. All of the addicts had spent and smoked their monthly benefit checks and were asleep on sidewalks and stoops of Stanford Avenue as I sat staring up at “Razor”, the local representative of the East Coast Crips, from the passenger seat ofContinue reading “my statement of Purpose for graduate school applications”

The View Doesn’t Know Welfare
On “The View”, @theviewtv, Welfare was described as placating poor people and rewarding them for not working. The View is Blind to Truth If you have been here for a minute or more, you know I work in the Welfare to Work program.
