Dumpster Diving

I truly found this writing to be in lighting and shocking. I know that some many have it hard, but if the day every comes when I may find myself reaching my hand down into a waste filled dumpster just so I may survive another day, I would come to terms with myself and "bite the bullet." We do what we must to survive as this woman has along with her somewhat young daughter who still sounds naive to the fact of being homeless.."homeless" I bet she doesn't even know the meaning yet. Just like I am ignorant to the word other than what I have seen in movies and read in books.
I believe the community is the homeless. She breaks down what they must Indore just to make a dollar and fill a belly. She has actually able to make a almost accurate observation and diagnose what condition the food is in and if it is fit to eat. I find it quit amazing how she plays detective to feed her child and stay alive. You can tell that she has made an effort to visit the local library more than once for information. She has a rather vast vocabulary and has some knowledge of pharmaceuticals which gives her the upper hand when telling her story and finding usable medication. I could be wrong though, she could have very well already been educated before she wrote this.
A little off the subject I remember once a year my mother (who works at FORD) must participate in some kind of a community service. She rather enjoys working on Habitat for Humanity, but also gave some of her time to a soup kitchen. This kitchen would consist of food that people have donated that no longer wish to have. My mother mentioned that there was a cook in the back that always managed to make reasonable good meals for there daily guest. I remember my mother used the words (nutritious and adequate) not something you would choose to make yourself but enough to eat. To eat and survive. I admire that she does this, even though it is required in her job duties she still takes great pride. It's funny how she is required to do some many hours of community serve just for working at FORD, just as a convict in jail is being punished in the form of community serve, the same serve that my mother takes pride in doing and in no way finds undesirable.
Back to Dumpster Diving, she is definitely an insider when it comes to my opinion's , if i had to dive to survive I would not want to know why a brand new baby blanket was thrown away without a touch of a newborn on it. She seems very objective in her research. She knows that when you puncture a can to make she that there some kind of vacuum and if there is mold on cheese to just pare it away and enjoy your feast. Her research and dedication is admiring. When I read this paper it made me want to research and discover everything that a subject in life has to offer. She seemed straight forward and mellow when she described her everyday life she wanted to state certain facts and did so in a appropriate manner when really there is nothing classy about her life. She did very well in explaining it the same way you would explain grocery shopping at Meijer. I think its really effective and makes people see that observation and research can be done anywhere, just by opening your mind you unlock a door to so many more opportunities. I rather wish to read more papers like these than on "How to Myspace." Thank You for sharing this with me Sarah Beth.
