your interview. Record it.
How long have you been living on the street?
For six years now, since I was sixteen.
Why do you live here?
Many people find it hard to understand why I gave a home in foster care to make it on my own but I wanted to be independent. Little did u know hard it would be.
Do you regret your actions?
Yes, quite often I wish I had stayed on at school and stayed in foster care until I was eighteen. Maybe then I would have a job or would have gone to college.
What is the worst thing about being homeless?
Feeling cold and lonely. And there’s also the uncertainty, the danger. It is the worst kind of existence, believe me!
Is there any way out?
I hope and pray that one day soon I’ll get a council flat and will finally have my own place to call home.
